So if GC unexpectedly goes offline again like the other day, anyone reading this probably has an idea of what's going on. I'll post updates to GC's Twitter/X page if that happens: https://x.com/greekchat
Okay, now I'm convinced that we need better emojis / smileys on GC. Right now I could use the smiling emoji with a cowboy hat and sunglasses. Hmm... maybe these two will work for now:  
Actually, GC has been on the new server for a few months now, since the end of July. Not a "new" server as in brand new but just new for GC.
Previously, from 2013 through July 2024, GC was running on a server I built and colocated at a datacenter in Atlanta. Now GC is on a server that I'm renting from a datacenter in Kansas City. The new server is probably 50% faster CPU wise, has 2.5x RAM & much more bandwidth.
The site interface / new forum software is still a work in progress. We will eventually get there, though. |
For real though. That’d be smooth if you made it to where we could post emojis so we could get an idea of what each other looks like IRL Lol.
How long does it take to build a server like that?
