Great to see the forums back!

Mike Im so glad to see the forums back up.

I know the attacks have been discouraging and I would like to thank you for keeping at it. I cant image not being able surfing Nvnews the way I do several times a day and I am greatfull.

Very slow though, compared to the last BBS. Takes a good 2 seconds for each link to www.nvnews.net to connect and respond.

Also, had a few issues trying to sign up. Ended up having my registration Account number emailed to me 4 FOUR times before it would accept and activate my account.

Glad to be back. Hopefully these troubles aren't going to last.

Funny. This updated forum runs faster than the one before. You on 56k EW?

[SnakeEyes]

That does sound strange. It seems at least as quick, if not quicker, than it was prior to the nuking.

[StealthHawk]

it does seem a bit slower to me. didn't have any problems registering though :)

[druga runda]

This forum flies at the moment.

The fastest I ever used ;)

[koslov]

Yes, I have noticed slow load times too. Not intolerably slow, but an annoyance. And my registration emal sure took it's sweet time getting here! About 5 minutes.

Glad to see the forum back up again. I for one really appreciate the effort you guys put into this site :)

[R1CH]

The reason it might seem slower - php accelerator doesn't seem to be installed yet unlike the previous forums, however their server now claims not to even be running PHP, at least not mod_php (don't tell me you're using the CGI :)) so maybe they hid it in an attempt at security by obscurity.

I too am rather glad the forums back up :) nice work mike:cool:

[Philibob]

Nice work Mike :) must have taken a lot of hard work to get the forums up again this quickly.

[Kruno]

My life are these forums so if they aren't around then I become a golem ;) :D

[vampireuk]

Just replace the word internet with nvnews, rather fitting:D

[prydah]

are all the previous posts from before the hack attack gone?

hopefully they arent and all the past posts will soon return.

otherwise, what a tragic waste of a great archive of knowledge and opinions gone forever... :(

[prydah]

i just read the announcement about RackShack wiping out all forum posts.

how sad!

what a horrible and unfortunate waste!

but i am glad that nvnews is mostly back up and running and that the forums is back even if we do have to start from scratch...


welcome back nvnews!!

:)

[vampireuk]

well as Corp pointed out its time to make the forums even better. Lets show the lame kiddies they cant ruin our fun!:cool:

These forums may run slow at times and not others, as we at Envy News are in the process of rebuilding over 2GBs of lost data (216 reviews...!).

Also, we're now using PHP4.22, and it's a lot more secure - as such, we've lost a TINY amount of performance. Lastly, we don't have PHPA (PHP Accelerator) on the server since there isn't a 4.22 compatible beta or final of it. Once PHPA is installed, speed should be noticeably faster at certain operations (vB forums are PHP, and ALL of Envy News is php...).

[Lou Natic]

Good to see everything back up and running, although someone must still be hung.

[methimpikehoses]
