That will pretty much completes the transition from ASF->mASF that
started 1 year ago and, with the enormous amount of crap here, there's
no more need to archive the public ASF. So, as of today, posts from ASF
will no longer be archived onto FS101, only posts from mASF.
After the merge & taking some time to clean up the databases, the total
available articles in the main archive will total more than 180,000.
The purpose of the new archiving/expiring is to:
- Improve mASF access speeds through the web & NNTP interfaces.
- Allow more extensive/sophisticated searches on mASF posts.
- Reduce server bottlenecks during scheduled article re-indexing.
An addition to the archiving/expiring, the web server software has been
upgraded and the backend scripting engine for the site has been
upgraded. The page-loading performance from those upgrades seems to be
about 2-3x. The previous hardware upgrade last week also improved
page-loading performance 4-5x.
Once the server updates are wrapped up today, the overall performance
improvement for the FS101 site (as well as Maniac's site) will be
improved by 10-12x and reliability (uptime) will be close to 100%.
Further performance improvements can be made over time... in the next
1-2 weeks, the server will also be moved into a co-location facility
with a much improved Internet connection speed so people with faster
connections (DSL, cable, T1) will benefit even more.

That's because it's on a private server which isn't accessible on public
USENet.
Here are the simple instructions of how to gain access (using a web
browser and newsreader):
http://www.fastseduction.com/ngdiscuss.shtml
Just remember that the FAQ still applies, even more so on mASF than
ASF. The FAQ is at:
http://www.fastseduction.com/asf-faq.shtml
For the curious:
- Ray Gordon is banned from access to mASF, so are discussions about him
or even remotely about him. The couple times he's tried to infiltrate,
he's quickly been removed.
- Trolls are ass-kicked quickly, if they even bother to appear at all,
which is rare.
- Slightly off-topic posts are marked as OT by members - this rule has
been working very well.
- Highly off-topic and useless posts are removed.
- The forum is 100% spam free.
- The forum is accessible using a web browser, newsreader, *and* via
e-mail (all synchronized).
- The forum is searchable; all new posts are searchable within 24
hours. All posts are also searchable in the main ASF archive at
http://www.fastseduction.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi
- The forum is broken up into multiple primnary topics (general,
fieldreports, tactics-techniques, advanced, sex)
- There's also a female-centric board (playettes) so that chicks can
focus their own discussions there so the rest of the forum doesn't get
disrupted (they can discuss their side of PU, offer up their thoughts on
seduction, and also bi-sexuality & PUing chicks from a chick
perspective)
- The server now has an uptime of better than 99%, and recent hardware
and software improvements have made accessing it blazingly fast.
- Cross-posts are IMPOSSIBLE when accessing mASF through a newsreader
since it sits on a server that isn't synchronized with the rest of
USENet.
Enjoy!!
THANK GOD!
Cool, Jay.
