Big News and a Poll

Posted by Yaginuma on 12/19/09 01:53 PM

Happy 13th Birthday to the Video Game Music Archive. Today we are starting the process of moving a new server, which upgrades us from old hardware (single-core, 512 MB ram, 80 GB hard drive) to a much better setup (quad-core, 8 GB ram, 1 TB hard drive, and double the bandwidth). Please note we'll be shutting down new-files uploads and forums file attachments during this transition.

This year also brings the passing of Geocities, this website's birthplace. Please take a 1 millisecond moment of silence in its honor.

Also, for some fun, please take a poll to let us know which year you first visited this site. This is one of the first polls I've setup Google Docs, but in theory the graph below should automatically update with each vote!

Forum upgrade complete

The forum upgrade is complete.

A new CAPTCHA system has been put into place that will hopefully cut back on the spam we've been seeing recently.

Upcoming forum upgrade

Posted by Powerlord on 11/25/09 08:55 PM

I'm going to be upgrading the forum software later this week.. most likely Thursday evening or Friday during the day. This update is reported to take considerably longer than normal, so the forums may be down for several hours.

During this time, the front page news will also be unavailable.

Child's Play Charity 2009

Posted by Powerlord on 11/11/09 04:32 PM

I have been reminded that the Child's Play Charity has started its 2009 donation drive. Thanks to its platinum, gold, and silver sponsors, Child's Play already has $260,000.

That's nice, but Child's Play's goal is to make at least one Million dollars.

If you want to donate to Child's Play, as always, we have a Child's Play banner below our main logo, or you can follow the link earlier in this post.
