All the database and apache functions have now been separated. It took longer than we thought. We had a MySQL problem getting it running and then configuring it so only the other server can read it to prevent DoSS attacks, pings, etc. A few times during Sunday and Monday we will be ajusting the server settings for best opitmization. Please expect minor outages. Also for those who all of a sudden get a “Database Connection” error is because we are working on a private domain link between the two servers for communications. There is also a very strong possiablity that we will be installing Squid on Apollo to allow for even more faster loading times.
Also in the next 24 hours, we will be releasing our new design that we been working on for about 3 months now and… Mediawiki update and database cleaning. (Getting rid of non-needed tables.)
Any problems, give myself or Joe a shoutout. I like to thank you all for your understanding. On another note, ThePlanet, was really supportive tonight when I accidently shut the server down, and forgot the reboot switch, so they went to the server keyboard, and rebooted for me. 
So say we MySQL…

Btw, the blog looks abso-frakkin’-lutley fantastic. Best blog design ever
Thanks Serenity, I worked quite hard on it so that it would be ready to go live on the new database server. Kinda like a little present to the users as an apology for downtime ^_^
Updated Wiki theme that i’ve been working on will be uploaded today too so look forward to that if you use bsgbook (default) skin.
Unbelievable.
It looks wonderful, Mercifull.
