Hello everyone...
MOCpages is back online as of this afternoon (01-Aug 2005). I feel terrible
about the horrendous downtime. I’m sorry I haven’t replied to anyone’s
messages asking what was going on -- I literally have been out of the country
(and without much computer access) for over 3 months.

1) MOCpages needs a dedicated server. I have already begun pricing and
estimates at a new facility and for a new server, but it will require at
least $500 up front, which I’m not sure I can afford to spend out-of-pocket.
I was considering having a fund-raiser, much like Peeron’s successful $2000
drive late last year. What is everyone’s thoughts on this?
2) The MOCpages database needs to be optimized for high-traffic. I’d like to
ask for help from the general community for this... are there any database
folks out there that wouldn’t mind helping me out a bit? Perhaps just some
advice would be in order.
Thanks,
Sean

I can’t help with programing, but I think a fund raiser is a good idea. I’ll
keep an eye out for an anouncement with paypal address.

Sean - what are your requirements for the server? I had to get a new
server to host PICSL, and found a good deal on that. Contact me
offline, I might be able to help.

What database are you using? We had to go through a number of
optimizations last year, when we were trying to squeese the last bits of
CPU from the database... Might have some ideas, if you're using MySQL.
