Website & Database maintenance next weekend + changes

We will probably have some downtime on the websites this weekend (hlstatsx, sourcebans & forum) because we're planning a migration. We're trying to keep downtime to a minimum but there still will be some when we do the move, We hope about 30 minutes, max 1 hour but in case of any issues it could be longer. Next to that, some changes will be made.

Here's what we're going to do:

Marvelous Gaming 20VS (Insanity, 85.17.133.4) will cease to exist, this server will host the database server and websites in the future.

This is necesarry to split the gameserver traffic and cpu load from the DB and website. This should give better perfomance, more stability and last but not least more security. All DB's are growing and starting to eat more and more cpu and bandwidth every day so it needs to be fixed. To give u an idea, the server is up 9 days now and already has 550 GB outgoing traffic (sick )

We don't know yet what to do with the insanity server, it might return or it gets replaced by some other mod But don't worry It will be replaced for sure so no server is lost in the process, it will only get better

Another thing we're planning on is building the main website. Right now we're only having stats and forums but we want to have a portal as well and a donator section. Of course donators get something in return, but more on that later when the system is ready, we sure have some interesting stuff planned for our donators Superbunny will work on those parts mostly.

Well, that's about it. If u have any suggestions or comments feel free to post them here or in our steamgroup. More updates later
