We're trying to collect some $$$ to move the TiVo forums to a seperate server so we can get search functions back and speed things up. If you feel this forum has been helpful to you as most people do, please toss in $5 or $10 via PayPal to David@bott.net.
Thanks!

Done. A worthy cause.
Let me ask one question, though: What happens if you don't raise enough money for new servers? Where does the money actually go then?
Good Luck.

Hi All....this is very nice of you.
The server I am currently running this site on (AVS Forum, TiVo Community, Harman Community, and the Beta sites) is a Duel PIII 600 Mhz system with 1 gig of RAM and four 9.1 gig Ultrawide SCSI drive on an 8 meg caching controller running RAID 5.
It is more or less an issue with UBB and it's search function. I am currently researching new forum software, but no time line thus far for a good product to fit our growing needs.
I could move this site and the beta forums off this server and onto it's own server to gain back some server overhead. It would run me about $1,500 or so for an AMD 1 Ghz box with 1 gig RAM and 2 ATA100 drive running mirrored. I would think that should be fine to handle the load.
Nice of you all, but I did not ask as you know. http://www.avsforum.com/ubbtivo/smile.gif I am touched.

Later on in the thread, David posted some updated specs on the server he is lookin at. The cost is listed below the equipment, and this is just an excerpt from his post. I also believe that he said he was going to make up the difference if enough wasn't collected....

What, you can't run the forum on a TiVo with Ethernet?
