RaginCajuns.com ... the offline fiasco of 2006-2007

I have some experience with website design (work at Golfballs.com), and there is no reason why you cannot keep the old site operational like it was. You make changes and redesign the new site on a different platform and upload the changes in one fell swoop. No excuse.

I just got of off the phone with John Dugas, who is part the of team that will be designing the new RaginCajuns.com site, and here is some of the answers to our questions.

1.) The existing RaginCajun.com site is being hosted, for free for the last 8 years or so, by one of our fans company server.
2.) Due to the success of football the server was not able to handle the number of people logging on to the site. It was actually causing this company problems with emails, etc. shutting down. Because of this problem they were limiting the number of people that can log in at a time.
3.) They are very disappointed about the timing of this problem and are doing everything that they can to remedy it.
4.) Not being able to log on was prohibiting the site from being updated and that is why the AthleticNetwork site is being used temporarily.
5.) The timing of the site problems was not due to the new RaginCajun.com site but due to the added traffic.
6.) UL offered to pay for additional space but was not able to do so.
7.) The new site is scheduled to be up and running by January.

A few thing about the new site. Funding was approved for the new site along with the addition of high speed fiber connectivity. I was told the new site will on par with some of the top athletic sites in the country. It will have live stats and will be updated immediately after the games or complete.

Remember that pain in your knees when you were growing up. It's growing pains. Get Over it......Timing, does suck but when is a good time?

Can't wait for the new sight.

my question would have been after hearing this particular info is why doesnt the university host its own website, not only can they easily afford it but could also rent out excess server space to other websites and help it pay for itself, i saw a guy with a server in his dorm room hosting server space to make a few extra bucks, its not that hard to do, so why are we using someone elses, plus with the universities high speed internet resouces at hand it would easily handle the traffic

Has anyone heard the time frame we are looking at for this site to be back up and running?

I'm getting impatient it's already been 3 months.

Trivia: The spokesperson in the www.RaginCajuns.com update video is a Ragin' Jazz member and neice of John Dugas which also makes her the granddaughter of Ed Dugas who is the brains behind UL's www.athleticnetwork.net

Here is what I think is a nice picture, with her uncle John (light colored shirt) in the background.
