FYI - need to make changes to Sig. Settings ASAP

[namix]

apparently our CPU usage on the server has been too high lately, so they were going to look to move us to a dedicated server if we do not get the #s down in the next two days.

the dedicated server is like base-line $55/mth, so clearly not an option at this point.

images from sigs are going to be removed for the time being until we can figure out the sweet-spot number and enforce better constraitns

thanks

[Strikta]

No doubt.

[namix]

made the changes, sorry for the inconvenience.

We have unlimited bandwidth & storage... but still had shared servers and thus CPU constraints.

Hopefully this is enough. Because we will be migrated to a dedicated server on the 30th if it is not --- and then we will have a 30 day 'free' trial, before being charged ~$70 a month, which is ludicrous for a bulletin board lol.

[Wise Wiggles]

Wack

[Strikta]

We could all pay it, everyone active chip in a dollar a month.

Inb4 13.50 jokes.

Srs tho.

[Wise Wiggles]

Or how about not..

[Strikta]

Prolly not lol word

[Diode]

isn't being an admin fun?

[namix]

isn't being an admin fun?

lol, yea - everyone is so understanding and appreciative

[Wise Wiggles]

Want some cheese?

[namix]

Want some cheese?

yes

[Ghost1]

Lol im not payin shit

[Lars]

lmao bring back dia, we never had this trouble when he was admin

[Lotto Smirk]

Hes lurking at RB isn't he?

[namix]

Lol im not payin shit

lol, yea if we ever got to the point we're relying on the kindness of members to support the site, it's already way too late.


our site activity combined with fancier siggys has been on the rise, so hopefully simpler siggy's solves the issues right away.


people were complaining about NSFW sigs anyway, so hey, two birds with one stone from my perspective lol.

[Allen Knight]

How much a month are u paying now?

[Strikta]

If it works out like how u just explained namix.. that would be dope.

Some ppl will be pissed tho.

Wise, for one.

[Strikta]

Also, u should take that sparkling American eagle out of the banner spot on the OG NC & PR skins. Tired of looking at that shit lol

[Hush]

Sell me this shithole so I can bury it

[Lars]

Hes lurking at RB isn't he?

and at R-R as andy Barclay

always keep your enemies close...

What about the fox????

WHERE IS THE FOX GOING TO LIVE NAMIX????

Very good point. You got a permanent fucking sig at the top of the site. Get you shit right.

[namix]

in our hearts bro

[Witty]

NO.

[namix]

That is not how it works.

In alignment with the w3 standard referred to as "4P compliance", Patriotic Prioritization of Processing Power: rendering an image of the American Eagle in the global header of a site actually improves processing efficiency for all US-based server farms.

[Witty]

Can we put the fox there instead???

[namix]

NO.

he lives in our hearts regardless yo

in seriousness though, this is why most sites didnt allow images/etc. back in the day.

HOWEVER, we will revisit the numbers and test some shit once we have a months worth of new averages..

Then we can determine how to reward certain individuals with specialized sigs... but we need to be prudent -- i.e. don't want the site crashing just because everyone and their brother needs fancy sigs that are re-rendered in every thread.

[Certain]

I don't know how much room it would save, but you also could cut "Profile Images." Who would miss those?

not true at all

[Diode]

Tha Talent

that one? it's there.

[Diode]

last post was august of 2007

y u do dis?

[Certain]

Hmm, I was able to log in as Calloused using my normal password. I must have changed the password for Tha Talent when I registered as Calloused so that the password-sharing search on the administration control panel wouldn't out me.

[Witty]

wouldn't out me.

Gayyyy.

Cuz u said 'out me' and that's what gay ppl say sometimes.

Gotcha.

[dead man]

70 a month? that seems bogus.

granted the fact that these problems stem from elevated activity is altogether a positive thing. there has to be a cheaper alternative?

Uh.

That isn't a thing. If you've experience that in admincp it was a 3rd party plugin and a questionable one at that since all pws are encrypted, salted, and hashed in the db. All it could do is try to match hashes but wouldn't be able to see actual pws.

I can change it to w/e you want, just pm me.

There are plenty. 70 a month i could get a dedicated box. Not even shared. there are plenty of vps out there for 25-30/mo.

But namix is in this for the lulz so he can go ahead and find them.

[dead man]

:/

this lack of camaraderie is killing me inside

[Certain]

Uh.

That's what it was. We had it at RhymeNReason. It actually was useful. We couldn't see the passwords but could see completely encrypted versions of them, so that two matching passwords would show up.

That's really shitty from a privacy standpoint.

Anyway, if you want Tha Talent, pm me a pw then change it.

maybe just disable sig images until users have a set amoutn of posts, say 1k?

then they're either regular forum posters or can go without

there are definitely cheaper alternatives --- that was just what this wackass host provider had as an option
