gmiller Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Congratulations Dos_Box Its a cracking site with a good vibe, helpful and informative posters. Hope it continues to grow and be a success. all the best and good luck. miller
Hightower Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I think it's fantastic that the site is doing so well, and that this role has come about because of this - it really is great news. I do have a complaint however. I'm using the site less and less, and now only check it a few times each week because I can't be bothered to wait 3 minutes each time for it to load up. Out of all the forums I frequent (all with a really active user group) this has got to be the slowest to load. Surely if money exists for a new full-time role, money should exist for better/faster hosting? I'm not telling anybody how to do their job, I mean look how far you've come - It's just something that I have noticed lately and maybe something that should be considered.

Hightower Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I take it back, although EduGeek appears to be slower than other sites I go on it seems that the problem may be the ISP at school. Sorry EduGeek
Polski Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I wish you all the best for the future. I found the site by accident, I cannot recall how. But since then I have been helped, helped others, scrotched to death in a flame war and had my ribs tickled to the point of agony. Where would I be without it?
maniac Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I've often wondered, does anyone have any screen shots of the original PHPBB based forum that edugeek used to be? The archived page on the waybackmachine doesn't load, because (understandably) none of the graphics exist anymore! Mike

Version 3 will be moving back to it!
john Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Erm ... is this the time to do the dirty on DB and ZH and let out a secret? Version 3 will be moving back to it! hmmmm I always find modding on phpbb not as good as vb
UKDarkstar Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Best of luck with it ! Good to see a forum developing to this extent.
contink Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 hmmmm I always find modding on phpbb not as good as vb Wash your mouth out with soap young man... I was and will return to be one of those poor saps who did that stuff for phpBB. Getting geared up for version 3 and beyond over the next few weeks too.. DB: Can I suggest cutting his edugeek rations by half as penitence
steve_nfi Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Congrats. Hope it all pans out for you (and for us). Perhaps you can get Bett to sponsor you. Give you a free stand every year. 1
russdev Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 err we already get it free well the space we get free... or what that meant to be with a .. In case it was serious we get space free but then we have to pay all the extras on top and heck they cost a lot and then we have to pay for you lot to come down so hotels, food, drink and the odd pizza.

CAM Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Well done! Don't forget to point the webcam at the coffee pot and buy a drinks machine that lets us check it's stock levels for maximum geekness.
ajbritton Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Congratulations Chris, it couldn't happen to a nicer Meat Loaf look-alike. (sorry). Seriously, all the best. Andy

Well you know what i mean a edugeek school network how it should be done!!! We have one its Ric's school He has all of those, well bar the Ruckus Wireless as he has Bluesocket but his reasoning is he got it pre-ruckus in the UK so we can let him off. Other members are heading that way, I for instance have Virtualisation (MS Virtual Server and looking into Hyper-V), Sun Storage, Ruckus Wireless (once funds permit) and Smoothwall UTM, oh and an MIS that works
alan-d Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I've been here too long I remember it before the 'patch cable' logo .
FN-GM Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I've been here too long I remember it before the 'patch cable' logo . If i remember right were the wires in the cable wired up wrong?
alan-d Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 If i remember right were the wires in the cable wired up wrong? You could be right, I remember there was a thread on it. I'm sure Geoff will find it
russdev Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Yes on first versions of the plug it was wired up wrong and then we changed it etc. What going on about I remember time when we had Word Art style logo.. Russ
john Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 You could be right, I remember there was a thread on it. I'm sure Geoff will find it It was as I made the thread I re-call and then we had a debate on how to wire a plug and if the logo was upside down or not and how we were viewing it etc etc
