Default A little feedback, please.....

OK....

It's been a long few months... And today was the "day from hell" - as the old carrier had "issues", and the new carrier's TECH support finally figured out that I needed a flat public IP span.

Anyway - some of you are now on the new circuits - and the bandwidth throughput is peaking at greater then 4 times the older circuits.

Sooo - can someone post back, please on how the Rennlist Forums are responding? I'm really interested on your connection type (dial-up, Cable, T1, etc...) and where you are coming in from..???

Also - I probably won't reply immediately - as I'm trying to balance the servers back here on the fly, based on your input....

BTW - I am SO SORRY for the outages today, but - I needed to reset some servers "on the fly"......

Thanks....

Seems pretty good now. I'm on DSL from Centurytel in La Crosse, WI. Routing through level3.net in Chicago, to att.net, to gnaps.net, manchester.nh.g4.net and then the traceroute gets lost.

I'm not surprised... When I have time - I'll post what went down, and why.... Seems Verizon was troubleshooting the old circuits while I was getting these lines up and running.... Then, one of my carriers took it down this afternoon to check what Verizon did... Amazing....

Again - sorry about that!!!

John, you never have to apologize for anything. This is the best, bar none, no second place.

BTW, when are we going to get a Rennlist magazine up? Put me down for a subscription!

Oh sheesssshhh... That's one of my hot buttons - as I'd really like to get that going.... Honestly - I think it would be great... To do it though takes some time, which is what I'm a little short of right now - BUT - it's been in the works for over a year...!!

Yep - time to get one done..!

My thanks Damian!!!

I didn't try posting or uploading anything new, but the grid girls thread opens very fast now. All in the name of science.

I am connecting via DSL from Huntsville, AL, and it seems faster than before. Thanks for the work you are doing, John!

Right now the site is running well, way to go...just couldn't get into the forums earlier this afternoon.

Hey John D, if you're looking for folks to write articles or something for Rennlist magazine in the future I'd love to take part.
