*** FORUM SERVER UPGRADED! ***

Postby dlf_kenm » Wed May 15, 2019 8:01 am

The DLF Forum will be down for several hours tonight, Wed. May 15th, beginning around 10:00 PM PST. The forum will likely be unavailable for several hours.

The server used to run this forum is being significantly upgraded. This upgrade will not only provide a serious performance increase, but it will accommodate future growth for a long time to come. There may be a few bumps along the way as we are migrating to an entirely new hosting platform, but everything should be smoothed out by tomorrow morning.

Your experience here is extremely important to us. We want this forum to run as smoothly as possible, and as we have said in the past many times, while the forum is free for everyone to use (and always will be), running this server is anything but free. There is a significant cost associated with keeping this site running smoothly, ensuring maximum up-time, facilitating backups, etc.

Your support in the form of a DLF Premium Membership is what pays for this forum. Those of you with the gold usernames are directly responsible for keeping the lights on around here. So Thank You to all of you who are or have been supporting members of DLF! And if you have not yet done so, please consider chipping in, even if it's just a single monthly membership. You'll not only be supporting this community, but gaining access to a ton of articles, rankings, resources and tools to help you in your pursuit of a dynasty championship.

Most of all, thank you to all of you for being a part of the greatest dynasty fantasy football community on the planet!

Thanks,

KM

We are back up and running again on the new server.

For those that are interested, we moved from a 2CPU, 4GB server that we had been on for 4 years, to a new 6CPU 16GB server. A significant jump in capability!

Smoking fast, better than ever, everything seems to be running smoothly.

Thanks for your patience folks.

Just wondering if there are plans to eventually move from HTTP to HTTPS?

The DLF main page uses the newer protocol, I just figured at some point the forum would also be upgraded to make things more secure.
