BtownBanners.com Site Stability

[BtownBanners 147]

Over the last 4 months, we have really enjoyed providing a place for Hoosiers to talk sports and discuss our favorite teams.  During this time we have experienced tremendous growth which is both GREAT and frustrating.  With increased growth, websites need more bandwidth, servers, CPU capacity and much much more that we did not know about 4 months ago.  

 

While our site has grown, we know there have been issues with the servers, the dreaded "SQL Errors" and much more that our members have had to deal with.  We do not take these situations lightly.  We have upgraded our servers THREE times, increased our CPU capacity by 1,000% and reduced the SQL Errors by 500%.  We are committed to making this place the best Indiana Hoosiers message boards on the internet.

 

After countless hours with our web team, we feel like we are finally closing in on some of the major issues that have caused us problems.  Some of these issues are from the constant demand from the BtownBanners App.  While this is a GREAT service and we are very excited for how well this has been received (over 5,000 downloads!), it does provide a strain against the visitors from the computer.  A revised App has already launched on Google Play, and is currently being reviewed by the Apple team now.  BtownBanners 1.2 is more efficient and should cause less strain on our servers and site.  Please bare with us as we continue to work out the kinks over the coming weeks and months.

 

If you have ANY questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at BtownBanners@gmail.com, or message our Admin or Mod team to communicate an idea, comment or concern.

 

We appreciate your contributions to the site, and we look forward to watching the Hoosiers battle for a spot in the big dance this March. Thank you again for sticking with us through our growth process, we promise to continually work at improving and delivering you the top notch service you are looking for.

 

Go BtownBanners, and Go HOOSIERS!

Like I said above to another poster, you have been a great addition here. I usually find myself agreeing with a lot of your viewpoints. Keep posting. You and mamasa, I believe that's how it's spelled lol, seem to have a lot of similar viewpoints. There are just a lot of great posters here, besides Bronk....... hehe

Ive been a member for awhile now, and when i wanna come talk serious hoops, this is the place to be. I hardly see trolls and flaming threads. I like that i can come here and talk hoops and have actual debates and not arguments with trolls. After espn made the comment section facebook only, i chose to come here and ill never look back. I hope this community grows more and more!
