Hi guys.
Now we are hosted in Canadian soil with plenty of boon. We have high availability, a new backup schedule with snapshots every 3 hours, Solid State Drive cache, a 1Gbps (fast!) connection port. Hardware-wise a great treat for our community, so it's time to focus on the actual software for us to enjoy.
...Why the extended downtime?
The reason is simple. We enjoy a heavily modified codebase (compared to the raw/base forum install) with plenty of man-hours from yours truly spent on it already.
While scrapping all of the custom code and starting again from scratch would have worked to get us back faster, it would also mean having to re-do loads of work again, which means DAYS of work to get us on par to where we were, versus taking over from where we left in exchange of only one day downtime for getting our setup right.
It was the right choice, had to take the fair trade-off!
So: Now we're officially open again. On bigger premises, with the ability to deliver better services, we are here to provide a great taste on this year's end.
Enjoy your Bet Selection home again!
