Wow! I logged on to the message boards just now and... FAST! Compared to how laggy they usually are, I thought I'd ask whether Paizo got a server upgrade. Of course, it could be that I'm the only one that's up at this hour...


Naw, the Dept. of Homeland Security got a faster server...so now they can check your posts and put them on Paizo faster.

Gotta keep track of those Satan worshippers, ya know....

I've noticed significant server improvement, myself...but I'm not going to jinx it by saying anything else about it.

We upgraded our servers a few weeks ago, in addition to changing some software that makes things run faster now. The web geeks could probably regale you with all the specs if you are interested. As for me, I am just so happy that it runs this fast!

Within the space of a few days, we added more (and faster) hardware, a more efficient network topology, updated the server OS, the development and deployment software, the database structures, and rolled out a bunch of major and minor changes to the store.

Best of all, all of that solved a bunch of minor problems that had been masking some bugs that led to occasional instabilities - if you've ever been kicked back to the front page while browsing or hanging out in the messageboard areas, you know what I'm talking about.

So , yeah, we've gained a lot of reliability and a lot of speed lately.
