milkboys’ future
As you may have noticed the server running milkboys was extremely slow during the early evening hours over the last weeks. That wasn’t really a surprise considering the growing number of people stopping by — more than 17,000 unique visitors every day just for the blog adding to the people visiting the board and the other blogs we host.
That’s why we decided to upgrade the server once again. We’re on a Intel Xenon Quad Core CPU now, got 4 GB RAM, and, maybe most important for future projects, we can use 10,000 GB of bandwidth per month now. This gives us the chance to let the blog run smooth while we add new features and can post more videos ;o) We’re working on a lot of stuff including a complete re-design of the blog, a social network connecting the board and the blog and some other things I will announce later ;) Besides that we can host more personal blogs for gay teens who don’t want to get kicked by Blogger and even give a few selected pictures blogger a safe home.
The downside is that we have to pay more for the server of course. The new hardware costs $ 280 per month (the old one was $ 200). So, if you feel like supporting our efforts: Donations are welcome :) Just contact me if you want to help out. Thanks!

So is there a chance for a whole milkboys social network with profiles and stuff? That would be pretty cool to see.

Josh,
you can use a plugin, to “cache” files on WordPress.

We do that since a year now, we would have been in need to upgrade way earlier without caching.
