nirenjan Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 I think I know what it's going to be... Bill is going to give me a dedicated server?
TCH-Andy Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Do you think we could all get one? Free dedicated servers for Christmas
JTD Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 This is almost as bad as waiting for christmas morning.
Head Guru Posted December 20, 2006 Author Posted December 20, 2006 Well I am not Santa, but I think this announcement will make many TCH clients very very happy.

PeterPeter Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Might be Ruby on Rails at last for everyone.
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Might be Ruby on Rails at last for everyone. Tease.
TCH-MikeM Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Might be Ruby on Rails at last for everyone. pfft, worthless. Everyone knows PHP is far superior.
abinidi Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 More storage space? (Oh wait. You already did that.) More bandwith? (Oh yeah. Did that too.) Fantastico for free? (Do you see where this is going?) RAID arrays on many servers? (Oh yeah) What's left??????
nortk Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 What's left?????? Ruby on Rails! Has to be. Going on nine months now.
Head Guru Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 Ruby on Rails! Has to be. Going on nine months now. Ruby on who?
TCH-MikeM Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I dreamt it was free Mountain Dew for all With any luck, Bill has invented a machine that will drip caffeine directly into my veins so I can skip the sometimes annoying consumption part or the process.
TCH-Dick Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 With any luck, Bill has invented a machine that will drip caffeine directly into my veins so I can skip the sometimes annoying consumption part or the process. Already done! Bill didn't issue you one? Here's a pic of my home office.Despite drastic measures, I still can't keep up with Head Guru and 99.9% uptime! Rock Sign
jwbowden Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 To Bill and all the TCH crew and all the wonderful TCH customers (while we wait breathlessly for the big announcement) Happy Holidays! May your Christmas be a blessed one and may the New Year be a wonderful year for you all.
TCH-Andy Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Thanks John Merry Christmas to one and all
TCH-Vivek Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 With any luck, Bill has invented a machine that will drip caffeine directly into my veins so I can skip the sometimes annoying consumption part or the process. May be a machine that can automatically feed me when it's time for food. Or was that already done Did I forget something..hmm.. ahh yes, Merry X'mas to all!!
erisande Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 I am hoping for PHP and MySQL 5!!! Woohoo!
abinidi Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 So is there an expected date and time for the announcement? How soon is "very soon"? 8 days? 10 days? 30 days? Can you give us a hint here?
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 They do this knowing full well that we are gonna ask "When is the announcement?" and then say "When we announce it".
makaveli Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 if it's not cake i think it's probably something like total choice hosting is going into space or something, but yes, seriously, it's nice to see that the team are going to add more to the service
jwbowden Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Well, it doesn't appear that it would be a Christmas "gift" ! We'll just have to be patient I guess.
Zeitgeist Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 (edited) Bill just wanted to wait 'til we hit 35 posts in the topic... Well, it doesn't appear that it would be a Christmas "gift" ! We'll just have to be patient I guess. Edited December 28, 2006 by Zeitgeist
gorriedt Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Bill just wanted to wait 'til we hit 35 posts in the topic... Or is it 36 posts?
TCH-Dick Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 How long are we going to wait? Sometime next year
abinidi Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Is TCH getting bought out? or merging with some other company? Gosh I hope not.....
makaveli Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) is this it (edit hmm image link doesn't seem to work) Edited December 31, 2006 by makaveli
Samrc Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Is it related to TCH being Level 1 Geek Certified? Hope this is a great year for TCH and the family!
dirtvoyles Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Did I miss the announcement? I'm all excited and stuff. I've got $5 on Ruby.
jwbowden Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Soon, real soon now ... I'm sure! Just don't any of you be holding your breath!
TCH-Bruce Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I don't think so, this is Bill's baby to announce!
Head Guru Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Announcement will be made on Monday January 8th, 2007
dirtvoyles Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Bruce, you're getting kneecapped! Making us wait when you're well aware.... However, the Chief Potentate has spoken, so I guess I can wait 24.
woodygap Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 This is GREAT! Jan. 8th is my birthday (Elvis too). Announcement will be made on Monday January 8th, 2007
youneverknow Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I don't think so, this is Bill's baby to announce! Bill is having a baby....wow that would be some announcement but.....you never know!
cbkihong Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 It's already Monday morning at the place I live. Looking forward to seeing your announcement Tuesday when I wake up (or Monday night before I go to sleep).
Zeitgeist Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 *looks around* Is it time yet, Bill? It's already Monday morning at the place I live. Looking forward to seeing your announcement Tuesday when I wake up (or Monday night before I go to sleep).
pagoda Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I need a calmative! I'm all discombobulated! The suspense here is killing me... <Programs 991 into speed dial just in case...>
mcrtec Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 It's Monday about 11:00am. Whats the big announcment... the suspense is killing me.
Zeitgeist Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 /sneaks in like a ninja and peers over Bill's shoulder at the super secret announcement memo!
abinidi Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Every time I see a new post in this thread, I get all excited. Then I realized that Bill will probably start a new thread with the biggest announcement ever to hit the TCH forums. So now I have to watch Bill's user profile to see what he's working on (in what forum, or writing a message, or whatever....)
makaveli Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 if its the biggest to date, the next time they have the biggest announcement it's going to have to be something out of this world
TCH-Thomas Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 So now I have to watch Bill's user profile He can also be anonymous.
abinidi Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Only 12 more hours (if you are on North America's west coast!! [which, come to think of it, I'm not])
Zeitgeist Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) less than 8 hours for the East Coasters now (less than three hours left of the day in GMT, which is what times the board is displaying!)... C'mon, Bill! Hit us up with the joyous news!!! Only 12 more hours (if you are on North America's west coast!! [which, come to think of it, I'm not]) Edited January 8, 2007 by Zeitgeist
abinidi Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I have a feeling it is going to be a major server announcement. And I wonder if it will be posted in the locked thread over in that area?!?!
woodygap Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I think you're on to something Detective Pehrson.
makaveli Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 well an hour and 7 mins here, or its late... i wouldn't worry, everything's late here, trains and buses, the mail delivery... but ill keep checking,
abinidi Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I subscribed to that other thread with immediate e-mail notifications, in hopes that if I'm not browsing the forum at the time it is posted I'll at least get an e-mail letting me know. Just a thought....
pagoda Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I've just received notification that NORAD has spotted the Head Guru leaving the TCH Headquarters... He He... so much like Christmas Eve!
abinidi Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 LOL. I might believe you, but his icon still shows him as being active in the forums. Is he browsing from his blackberry?
TCH-Bruce Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Just because he leaves doesn't mean he logs out!
pagoda Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Satellite phone- just like the big guy in the red suit!
abinidi Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Ok. He hasn't been active on the forums (meaning clicked a link on the forums) for over a half-hour. So maybe he has left the building. Darn!
knate5000 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Is the announcement going to be during the half-time show of the national championship? GO GATORS!!!! Edited January 9, 2007 by knate5000
ripefis Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) I'm hoping its not one of these, as none sounds that appealing to me: Increase hosting plan cost by 60% and offer phone support? Offer more reliable backups and run account backups every 8 hours at no additional cost to the client? Offer VPS servers and improve Dedicated Server offerings? Improve Server Monitoring and offer public uptime reports of server performance? Add a online Site Builder to all account plans at no additional cost. Offer custom scripting services to clients at a reasonable cost. Allow clients to colocate their own servers in TCH cages? Do more forum contests and give away bigger prizes! Not a darn thing, TCH is perfect as is! I'm hoping for significantly increased disk size and bandwidth.. or maybe longer usernames (the "h" is cut off from Ripefish and my other webpage Spickle.com was made to riobssa for some reason). Edited January 9, 2007 by ripefis
TCH-Bruce Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 User names are now generated randomly (for security reasons) and they are seven characters long. That will not be changed.
knate5000 Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Let me guess, he will post it at 11:59 . . . It's looking like that!
makaveli Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) edit re: cpanel usernames i dont see any problem with it anyways, its like saying "why isnt my ATM PIN code 1234" you get your own and over time you remember it, which is good. i used to be on host that you would be /~exampl but, it doesnt affect how the site works really Edited January 9, 2007 by makaveli
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) The "Largest Announcement" is that the announcement has been postponed indefinitely. Sorry to spoil it for you. Edited January 9, 2007 by Steve Scrimpshire
makaveli Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 booo was that it it's good, it's good! not too scary but enough to make you jump if your half asleep
Head Guru Posted January 9, 2007 Author Posted January 9, 2007 LOL - I love TCH forums. Ok guys and gals. The staff and I are planning the announcement around 11pm EST. We are trying to finish up some work on one of the topics in the announcement. Talk about down to the wire eh?
makaveli Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Extremely Smiley Techs? don't quite know what that time is but guessing thats around breakfast time for me, i can always sneak a peak at the forums when im working all day.. big deadline for me tomorrow
dirtvoyles Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I stayed away all day expecting to get on tonight and see the spectacle that is another awesome announcement. Now I read that I must wait another 1:25. Now I'm all butterfly-y. Thanks.
Steve Scrimpshire Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 11pm EST (Eastern Standard Time US) is a little less than one hour from now or GMT - 5 hours.
ripefis Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 User names are now generated randomly (for security reasons) and they are seven characters long. That will not be changed. They weren't always. The first site I registered with TCH cropped the username to 7 characters, the next was done randomly. You lose!
jwbowden Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) I've never seen this many users hanging around a forum - EVER! (12 at this moment in time) Edited January 9, 2007 by jwbowden
nirenjan Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I've never seen this many users hanging around a forum - EVER! (12 at this moment in time) Looks like everybody is waiting for Bill...
