Hi All
Just a brief note initially - to bring you up to date and to explain a few of the things that are happening behind the scenes here at tMP HQ!
Firstly, and at this time in the life of tMP very importantly, we are holding our next Moderators face-to-face meeting on Saturday 15th May. Hopefully you will be pleased to know that we have many exciting things planned here on tMP for the remainder of 2004 and beyond into 2005, and I am sure we most certainly are in for a mammoth session discussing them all. However, keeping with tMP tradition, I would also like to give everyone here the opportunity to let us have your thoughts and ideas as to what you would like us to consider. Please do feel free to e-mail or PM us with any suggestions where you feel things could be improved, ammended or introduced. We will be happy to add these to the already large agenda. It is vitally important for tMP that we continue to offer to you many new features, additional value services and above all, plenty of fun to-boot. So, come on - get your thinking hats on and get those suggestions flying into us via the usual routes... PM's or e-mails (john@, roger@, rachel@, ian@, neal@, peter@, dyl@ themouthpiece.com).
I will be making several announcements following this meeting when I will fully update you all with what our plans for the future. One thing though that I can mention now, is thus. Due to our fantastic and unprescedented membership, number of threads and bandwidth growth, very soon tMP will need to be migrated to a new and more powerful webserver. In preparation for this, please can I ask each of you to delete any unwanted PM's you might have in your private tMP folder area ASAP. We are dangerously close to our maximum (and webhost imposed) database size, and if everyone can do this ASAP doing so will hopefully allow us a few more weeks breathing space before we are in a position when we have to move servers. When we do move to our new webservers, we will have enough space to grow 10-fold and keep tMP growing well into the future. Please also be assured as well, that I am making considerable effort to keep downtime to an absolute minimum. I will keep you udated as to the migration plan and if you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact me and I will explain exactly what we are doing.
That's about it for now - so please get those suggestions in and do check and remove any unwanted PM's from your private PM folders.
Many thanks for your continued support here on tMP folks... :tup
