New Server Location

[Tcholok]

Because of a hardware issue causing crashes on the current server, we will need to move to a new server. This gives us an opportunity to choose a new location as well. Please let us  know where you would prefer the server to be located. To get the best feedback I'm keeping the choices very limited.

You can test ping the two primary choices as well as some backup choices by using our ping test script. Just download md_server_ping_test.bat and run it.

Please reply to this poll with your ping test results  and your geographic location so we can get a better sense of the distribution of pings and locations. You can copy / paste your ping test results from the command prompt that opens, or you can open the md_server_ping_test_results.txt text file that is created by the ping test tool and copy the contents from here / attach the file.
