256MB PII would explain why the site was sometimes very very sluggish with things. That still tells me that I can reuse the 500mhz Celeron for something though. It is roughly similarly equipped. I had (up until a week ago) a dual PII server for internal use, ran my proxy, an IRC bot, web filtering and cache, served up media files, and an internal website which was largely just a very big version of a blackboard with grep.
I just ordered a spiff new Celeron-D system, building from parts. So the Celeron 500 will take over the duties of the dual PII that departed the world. Old hardware still has a lot of uses, though the slower systems strain a lot when you stop serving up static content. Biggest bottle neck is memory in the old hardware, I really do believe if you could find a way to stuff enough in them that they could handle even non-static tasks with a fair amount of ease, but just not worth fixing them anymore when you can buy new hardware for the cost of upgrading the old.
What kind of stuff are you planning to add?

I think it's probably more an issue of limited bandwidth than processing power or memory. I run a number of other services on my home systems than MANN, and that tends to eat up a significant chunk of bandwdith at times. Given that the MANN web server only runs this one web site, it hasn't had to strain much.

I'd like to keep it a surprise at this point, and also to manage expectations - but anyone who attended my breakout session at the July Men's Rights Congress got an idea of what I've been thinking about. It will definitely have something to do with promoting men's issues bloggers.

Fascinating stuff to see. Thanks Scott for all your work. I look forward to the new features of the new Mensactivism as I'm sure you do. It's encouraging to see the Men's movement not only surviving, but gaining momentum.

They are updating the hardware, and software of MANN, in an attempt to keep up with the interest in this website. It is a noble thing they do, and I believe they are attempting to improve our experiences on MANN! "Hoka hey!" Thundercloud

I want to thank you for your efforts, it shows what People can do if they want. Actually it started me thinking about the donation thing, that would make a nice holiday season gift! Once again, thank you, it is a fine site, and it has an Honorable cause! May only good Karma come your way, and the blessing of the Universe wash over you and yours.....

Some major changes will be underway at Mensactivism.org in coming months. I've finally decided to buy a dedicated server and have it hosted at a professional internet co-location site. You can see pictures of the old and new server as well as some more background info
