We've actually been running ANN's database off the new box for close to 3 months now, but this is the first day that we're running the database and the webserver off of the new box.

(it's called Skuld).

We're also running Ioncube PHPA on the box, this is something new for us, while its been on this machine for a couple weeks (while the machine was in testing), we haven't run it on a development server yet, so we'll see how much of a benefit it provides.

The script changes are a few little tweaks to catch & ban misbehaving bots.

I love Norse mythology. Even if it isn't based off THE Norn Skuld, it's still a great name.

But yay! Hopefully no more slow stuff on the server. Anime smile

I thought the site was unusually faster these last few months. Razz

In any case though, I'm glad it's official now.

So, what inspired "Skuld?" Smile

*doubts it was the jailbait slut Skuld, queen of funky monsters, from Matantei Loki*

You're going to be disappointed. Basically we had a list of possible names, and I picked that one almost at random. Well, I *do* like Skuld from OMG. A fellow bug-hunter, if you will.
