The baby's growing up.
I'd say congratulations are in order all round.
Should we hold a Bar Mitzvah?
A first communion?
Or perhaps an initiation ceremony?
An addition to the forum to help members reach a similar level of maturity might prove useful. How about a new section for discussing basic prerequisites to good posting, such and spelling, grammar, comprehension, logic, probability and statistics, ethics, and I'm sure other educational topics would be found.
This area could include a course of training exercises, completion of which would allow one to be considered as a potential moderator.
Use of the ant gloves in this course would help train moderators to bear the pain caused by some of the more odious posts on the board.

Oh but you forgot that 29 is 9 + 2 which is 11, and 6/11/09 rearranged is 9/11/06. So maybe something happened that we do not know about?!
ahh just fooling around.
I am looking forward to the update....
And the 1 and the 0 means in 10 more days on 6/29/09 the world is going to end because Nibiru disguised as an asteroid disguised as a UFO filled with greys is going to crash in to Earth so they can fight the reptilians.

Initially all activity will be handled by a lightning-fast speed demon master server, with a single slave server acting as a read-only failover should the master go offline. For those into such things, the new server has 16 cores, 8 gigs of RAM, and more importantly, SSD's (multiple solid state drives) in a RAID-10 configuration. Our slave server(s) will be less powerful, but still us SSD's for storage.

Obviously your going for an above average upgrade, which is good news all round. SSD is the future in more ways than one. Would also like to take the opportunity to ask, since i will be moving forward into the ssd by the end of the year i am at a cross road as to were to locate. I have been considering either Texas or NYC, any input of that sort would be most appreciated.
edit:
We have identical sys set up, the only difference is the move to ssd and the controller amongst other that i need to change. As i mentioned earlier the move to which state has caused me some confusion as i am not located to any of the these states at a driving distance. Obviously service and professionalism are the key factors when you start moving servers around the world.
