Yup, as a result of whatever the heck happened here the past few weeks I now have several offers of site hosting, all of which I’m considering and reviewing and will get back to you guys. It’s amazing how the community jumps up to help someone. Just realize however that I have hopped from site to site the last few years and some experiences were good, some not so good so understand if I feel a little jaded on any offers anyone has made. I’ve heard all about the how green the grass was on the other side so I have to proceed with a little caution. Anyways, between that and getting back on track I need to get some software updates happening which will be going out. It’s a hard sell. Some people say sit back and relax and others are “Where’s the beef!”. Anyways, I continue to pound away to deliver something to you shortly. Back tommorow with an update as I head off into what we call our “day jobs”. Thanks!

Hi guys. Welcome to the weekend! Just a couple more tidbits about FAR files before you start your weekend. Like I said, managing FAR files and finding the right balance of number of files vs size of FAR to get any performance boost is an art, not a science. There are too many factors (CPU, Memory, HD speed, etc.) to take into account that it’s different with everyone. Also there are some people that play around and find things worse off than they started. Others have found no reduction in loading times but better game performance. And others are finding various results. In any case, do what you think is best. If you like to play around, do so and maybe remember that you might have to back out all your changes as it might not make much of an impact. This is no silver bullet and not the answer to all your dreams, but hey that’s the fun of computers. And yes, you will gain some disk space if you do go the FAR route as having lots of little files takes up more cluster space and file entries so in the long run you do get some gain (not a heck of a lot, but some depending on how your system is setup). Thanks to Mazelord for that info.
