New Server for b-roll.net

July 16, 2013 forum topics, lead
Hello, my b-roll.net FRIENDS!

It’s been so long since I posted on this site – I feel like I should re-introduce myself.

Lately, our trusty server is getting a bit sluggish. The forum and site have been painfully slow. I finally took the plunge, pulled out the credit card and upgraded to a new server. More horsepower, more speed, and hopefully more reliability. We should be online with our new "faster" b-roll.net in the next week or so…

Please excuse any hiccups with connections in the next few days – but I think we’ll all be happier when the change is complete.

One sad news – it has finally become time to retire b-roll.net TV. This little script did great work through 3 years of b-roll.net AWARDS, but unfortunately it is buggy and prone to hacker attacks.

In the time since b-roll.net TV began, YouTube and Vimeo have improved significantly, so I’d recommend posting video there for future sharing.

We will not be migrating b-roll.net TV over to the new server – so please check any links you use for embedded clips.

Once we have performance back – I hope we can get b-roll.net up to an active state again. And maybe I’ll even post more than once a year…

Thanks to everyone…
