How so? Do you mean to add HTML, colours, backgrounds, etc?

Ah.. ok. Let me see what mods, if any, are out there for it and what we'd need to do to install them.

NotAnAverageGuy · 12-28-2009, 03:58 PM

I have noticed the site is kinda slow and I have gotten 2 database errors today, is it me or anyone else having this issue?

Bit · 12-28-2009, 04:10 PM

It takes fooorrrrrevvvvver to get in today... and the posting window isn't completely functional. I keep timing out.

Are we getting slammed with spam or something?

NotAnAverageGuy · 12-28-2009, 04:19 PM

not sure but it is very very slow, i know they did a security update not long ago

Admin · 12-28-2009, 04:39 PM

Hmm, Im moving around at lighting speed today. (must be all that grease I ate during the holidays)

If any of you are getting database errors, can you please note the time and post here. Thanks!

Cyclopea · 12-28-2009, 04:47 PM

and here I thought I was placed on "miserable user"... HA!
Just Kidding!

my first database error was at about 3:40 pm today

Semantics · 12-28-2009, 05:23 PM

I had several database errors today, too.

I know that one of them was at 1:10 because I was trying to post a visitor message at the time.

Gemme · 12-28-2009, 06:06 PM

The past two days have been especially slow for me, but I'm not entirely sure it's not on my end.

Cyclopea · 12-29-2009, 02:02 AM

Linus!

The site is so slow it keeps timing out my arcade scores no matter how frequently I refresh: Aaaargh!

Help me out bro!

Sorry. This one is out of our hands. It is the provider. I have a suspicion that the server we share with other sites is being busy because of the holidays. The Admin is looking to resolve this one way or another.

SuperFemme · 12-29-2009, 11:44 AM

I have a question. Let's say that a member purchases a $30 membership, then a month later purchases a $100 membership. Is it a possibility that the remaining time on the $30 membership can be transferred to a person who at this time cannot afford a membership?

Yes

They can just private message me the name of who they want it to go to and we can manually change it

Admin · 12-29-2009, 11:54 AM

Just FYI:
I have been on the phone so many times with GoDaddy in the last few days that I know the number and prompt codes by heart.

Aside from wanting to sell us a dedicated server (for THIS amount of traffic? I dont fucking think so), they never take responsibility for the server being janky. One tech even tried to tell me that the "the server has dropped the connection" messages were because we needed to update the password on our hosting account. After I got through laughing, I asked for a supervisor and explained that we will no longer be needing their services and will be transferring our account.

Im DONE with GoDaddy.

Linus and I will begin the process for changing servers in the next couple of weeks.

Also, as a side note, the one-year of fees that we pre-paid to GoDaddy WILL be refunded to us so the site wont be out any money. We will, however, have to pay hosting fees for 2 different companies for about a month while we transfer everything.
I've never transferred a server so this will be a new experience for me (but then again, I'd never built a website until 6 months ago either and that didnt stop me)

Hang in there folks, faster days are coming
