Dedicated server

this weekend we might be moving over to new server assuming everything goes well in testing this week
 





I have, but now I mainly use OS X which is based off the Freebsd core.
 
I erased the host entry because I noteiced that the version of the forum there is like a backup and i couldn't see anything.

Anyway, before I noteiced this I was using it for a while and everything went Ok.

Yours,
Albert
 
The new forum looked fine to me - and felt slightly snappier when browsing. The adverts are currently looking funny and shifting the layout, though. I remember seeing an article regarding clickthrough rates on forums - apparently registered users click much more rarely than casual passers-by. I'll see if I can find a link for you - it had some nice information about effectively advertising on forums.
 
had to delete post, plz PM me for details sorry

hey guys yeah the other server is not a live mirror. this weekend i might move everything over though and go live.

thx for feedback about ideas to improve advertising effectiveness, had to delete a post tho b/c certain things about advetising are against the advertisers ToS to discuss


i am going to move a new backup to the test server and will have it back up soon

talk so0n everyone enjoy the site!!
peace
 
Here's one of the articles I was referencing (not sure if it was the same one, though)

How Ads Really Work: Superfans and Noobs | fortuitous

It is a bit outdated, but I think that the core concepts it shares are the same. Also, one effective spot for advertising is inter-posts, though this targets your "superfan" user base, as is described in the article. It's an interesting read (though sadly I didn't manage to implement it before one of my/my friend's forums died of neglect).

EDIT:
This page (the last post and the thread it links to also) also has some useful tweaks, but might annoy users, and so I'd put a poll up and ask first:

laserpointerforums.com/laser_pointer_forums_3/forum/help-suggestions-administrative-announcements/41304-test-site.html

if u dont see this post it means you are still on the old server and the IP is getting resolve for the new server yet
 
Hey c0ld, everything seems to be working great! I am seeing the post.
Smilies, changing profile settings, editing messages, attaching images and sending PMs all working :gj:
Only thing I can see is that the Google ads have pushed the main LPF logo to the right, while ads were before to the left and right of the logo.

There is a little donation coming your way tomorrow.
Keep up the good work!
