RS246.com Forum :: The World's #1 Audi R, S and RS Enthusiast Community

It's really happening this time and it's a biggie!!!

Just a heads up that anytime soon we'll be moving server (Datacenter, server, etc).

The new server is in Germany (value for money) and upgrades the hardware (8 cores, 32GB RAM, twin 500GB SSD) and connection (from 100MB to 1000MB)!!!

At the same time the forum software will get upgraded (Responsive UI) and we're likely to enable https (encrypted) access to all of RS246.

We usually do a move like this every 3 to 4 years. It's a significant challenge and there will be issues/interruptions. Please use this thread to report anything that needs fixing.

Thank you for all your support.

RS246 - Going from strength to strength

Thanks for all the hard work you put into keeping the site running MrT

It's a pleasure mate. We always said we would keep it running as long as the members kept it busy. There's a fine bunch of people here and it's well worth investing in

Much appreciated Phil

Yay.

Good luck with the upgrade. Hope it goes smoothly.

Thanks Boss, it's great to see a forum growing

I'll add my thanks too! Cheers Phil!

Cheers guys. A few bits moved already and had some challenges. Next it's all the bits that make up RS246. It's gonna hurt!!!!!

Keep up the good work. Take 2 paracetamol. 2 ibuprofen. A good smear of Vaseline and gently slide it in. Hopefully that will ease the pain.

Is this the upgrade or are we back to poor old Chunks' mum?

I have some hard liquor at the ready too Eddie

That would be telling

How has this got round to my mom even with bum_bum out the country?
Keep up the good work MrT, I've got some names that you need to ban from this site ^^^^^^^^

Reminds me of some good old venues; Liquor in the front and poker in the rear.

Good workd Phil. Will we notice any difference when up and running in terms of looks? Not suggesting it needs changing as I'm happy with it the way it is, just wondering.

Yes Mike. There'll be changes but it'll be very similar to how it is now. Hopefully just better
