New Servers

Only OCUK would make sure the host was up to scratch before updating the software.

You wouldn't build a house on poor foundations.

What new things are being added? The way I see it, its a forum - If its easy to use then great. Maybe a private chat/messenger would be nice but thats about it
 
I'm hoping this presages an upgrade in forum software. I've used other boards with Xenforo and I have liked the experience. Much better than VB.
 
Much snappier here, thanks OCUK team.

I'm quite surprised how many people use their ISPs DNS settings.

They might be a bit slower than free alternatives but I believe the privacy makes up for it.

Compare to using Google's for example. They may be faster, but the downside is Google then gets a record of every single URL you visit. If you run it on your router, Google gets a record of every single URL you and everyone on your network visits. It's an appalling privacy concession IMO.

Obviously the same goes for using your ISP's DNS server, but then they are free to log all your traffic habits anyway so it's moot.

Same goes for paid DNS services too of course but they're probably less likely to be massively analysing your data for their own good.
 
Ok you sold me on that point, anything that allows me to wind up Freefaller faster is a plus in my book. :D

Careful now, that may be construed as trolling ;)

You don't wind me up, I have more important things to get upset about :)

Whilst we may disagree on some things, I do not think it's fair for you to actively seek out to try and wind me or any other member up, it's not what we want here. Disagreements are fine, that's what makes life interesting - however to try and keep this place inclusive and enjoyable I'd rather people made some effort to be respectful and offer some form of compassion/empathy.
 
They did, the previous owner is no longer running ship :p

Liking how snappier the forum feels now!
