The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
When I started here this place was pretty much dead, with people coming here more to get a bit of help rather than chat. I have seen (and hopefully helped) the web forum develop into a small community.
We have realised that many of us have a lot in common, and between us we have a wide range of skills that has got to a point where SR are sponsoring us to set up a website offering help.
Though we are all varied in our backgrounds and we all have different ways of assessing and dealing with issues, we must work as a team now more than ever instead of being at eachothers throats about minor issues. We all have specialist skills that will make this site a success and rather than argue on who does something better, learn from the other person and develop your skills accordingly.
As I see it, for this site of ours to be a true success, we must forget about minor issues, personal grudges, "mine's better than yours", "my dads harder than yours" and so on. Out of all the forums on this site this is the one that for me feels like it has the tightest group, and I feel like a member rather than a user. I'd like to see it kept that way.
Can't we all just get along? :)

So you keep saying...
Well, they're your servers, not mine but I really think you'd be better off with Unix.

Finlly shut him up though didn't it!!

You REALLY don't understand the idea of corporate business models do you!!

Id love to go Unix, but unfortunately it's out of our hands!!

We'd need a farm of 28 Racks (including back up) and our current

No need for new servers. If the current ones can run windows at a decent speed then they can run unix at a bliningly fast rate. I know its a lot of effort to move over and you don't do it all at once. Take it one server/site at a time.
