JetNation Forums Are Moving To A Hosted Environment


Maxman

Recommended Posts

Sometime this week, we will post the exact date and time, we will be moving the JetNation forums to a hosted environment. Otherwise known as, "the cloud"...this will give us many new benefits:

  • Many more people can be online on game day with NO slow down in performance
  • We don't have to manage this part of the server anymore, so we will be less cranky, lol
  • A 250 user chat room license, for game day action or hot, steamy one on many football talk. :D

There will be some downtime involved, we are aiming to do this around midnight or so one night but we will post more details shortly. Thanks and let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

JetNation (the site that cares, even during these tough lockout times)

This move will take place tomorrow night (Tuesday 6/28). That means we will be ready to go whenever the NFL decides to start playing football again! The site will be down for a little while, should be a few hours but we be back soon, we promise.

Thanks!

Awesome news.

Dunno what this cloud thingie is but if it improves performance i can sacrifice few hours of not having JN for it.

Actually it is step 1 of many....basically we will be able to have a TON of people in the forums and chat room on game day.

We are also finalizing our iphone and android apps...should have info on them soon....

We will get the mobile skinned cleaned up, so I think that will be a good option for blackberry users. But I am not sure about an app. If IPB puts one out we will buy it and install it, right now they don't have one though. Thanks.

Good call. Was the current chat room having problems hosting the 2 people that accidentally click over on it for 5 seconds at a time?

haha, the current chat room was able to handle the volume of 2 people per day. :D

Honestly the 250 user chat room license comes with the hosted package we bought. So we are going to look into doing some chats again. Or if people want to use the chat room on game day that is an option as well....we will promote that a bit.

yea that might be a good option-again. We used to all click over to the chatroom on gameday and it worked out pretty well. I'll never forget the time the two Mikes we had here driving Guns crazy. It was like Gallagher the cop and the Little Rascals

The 250 capacity will be needed for a time when one of the ladies tell us they are t0pless in the chat room. :rolleyes:

I think we will realize the full utility of this shift towards cloud when the JETS sign a free agent or make a blockbuster trade after the lockout is lifted and nobody gets knocked out of the board. Or when the JETS win a Super Bowl!

With the two servers we had last year it got tight around playoff time. We had to log out guests etc. That shouldn't be the case anymore!
