New Owner

As some of you already know I purchased Admin Talk from @Brandon yesterday. The site is now on my servers. The DNS isn't sully propagated yet so some of you might still be hitting the old server with the closed sign. You can access it by IP http://173.167.140.114 until DNS fully propagates.

I know you'll have some questions and I will answer them all. Until then here is some of the things that will change going forward.

• The site will get a facelift. I like this style and will keep it available for everyone to use if they choose. I will be changing the default style.

• I will be installing Elastic search, I have a license for it for this site.

There are other things I will be doing and will discuss them in the future. If you have any suggestions now is the time to post them. I will look at any and all recommendations that you make.

For now I've got some cleanup to do. I have the site on a staging server right now. Once I get everything the way I want it and have the import done I will move it to the production server. No downtime when I do that. It's just a small config change in the DNS.

 

There will be a fixed width style Scott.

 

Interested to see how things progress.

 

I've got something to ask you about one of your xenforo mods. I'll shoot you a PM in a bit.

 

I had vbulletin 4 running on a site I closed yesterday. It was a 1.3M post off topic forum. I started it on vbulletin 3.8 and upgraded to vbulletin 4.2 when it was released. I had no problems with it. As I said in another thread vbulletin 4 is a viable solution and should be the flagship until they do a total rewrite.

 

I can't speak for @Brandon, but, I am keeping him as an admin until he tells me he doesn't have the time to visit here.

 

The only thing that changed is a few improvements to make the experience better.
