Vin+ 3,121 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) She's dead, Jim. But only for a couple days. Apparently our hosting account has gone over it's limit, and was suspended earlier this evening. It's been brought back to life, but if we go over a set amount before the the first, the site will go down again and won't be brought back in the first of the month. In order to prevent that from happening, I've taken the shoutbox away. The chat remains, however, so feel free to use it. This should hopefully prevent another site outage, as well as show me what the effects are of the shoutbox on our hosting account. My apologies for the inconvenience, but not having a shoutbox is better than not being able to access the board. And like I said, it'll be back late Monday night.

Sparty 110 Posted February 26, 2016 You mean instead of talking in the shoutbox people actually have to post during the day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bay 2,003 Posted February 29, 2016 IP chat is cool, it's just can get awkward when there's only a few left late at night at nobody knows what to say and maybe just peaces out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted March 24, 2016 I don't understand how this is a problem all of a sudden. Sounds fishy on the part of the hosting company tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.AirMcNair. 1,232 Posted March 24, 2016 Yeah I'm completely confused how a bunch of text is somehow too much for your hosting company to handle. Sounds like BS to me. We're at a pretty slow point in terms of posting both of the times this has happened, yet this never happened during the NFL season when both the shoutbox and the posting was at it's highest amount of use? pls 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted March 24, 2016 We had this problem shortly after we started using them, but haven't really since. Pretty sure when it happened back then it was during March/April too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeVo 176 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) As someone that has been around the hosting market for various projects I've put myself in, this sounds like hosting issues. While a shoutbox can be a little resource heavy, it shouldn't be a problem on a site like this one. TGP shouldn't even be going over 15 concurrent users (average shared hosting limits at peak are usually 25) at a single time, so that alone shouldn't be an issue with the shoutbox. I have a question, does the host here offer "unlimited" or "unmetered" details with their offerings? Edited March 24, 2016 by KeVo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
