greg_r 82 Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks mate - the thing is that it needs to be sustainable. I'm just on the horn with our web hosts to see if I can squeeze any more resources out of our account - we're already on a plan that they don't list on their website, so I may be out of luck, but it's worth a try... TBH I wasn't expecting to get to this point for another 6 months - it might just be a fluke as the SB has never been this busy before, but I guess we'll have to see...

KinCaidk 0 Posted October 28, 2009 guess i'm missing it...powermax? it's not powermax. it's POWERMAX! You get a nice sign under your namer when you have like 2000 posts or something like that.

greg_r 82 Posted October 28, 2009 Powermax - user rank when you reach 2,000 posts. PostWhore is at 4,000 if I recall correctly. You'll see the banner under various folks avatar. Mine says Powermad rather than Powermax, but it seemed appropriate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 82 Posted October 28, 2009 Okay folks - I've re-configured the shoutbox somewhat so it should consume less resources and have turned it back on for now. The hosts have agreed to turn a blind eye to today's overage (they're good like that) and we've now dropped below the 2hr usage maximum, so we're not in danger of getting cut off just yet. What I've agreed with our hosts is that I will monitor it carefully over the next few days and we'll then see what happens. They understand the problem we're having (they specialise in forum hosting) and they can see that I'm trying to come up with a solution. Fortunately the server we're on is undersold, so we're not causing problems for anyone else just yet. You will find the shoutbox quite a bit more sluggish than before, sorry - but if that solves the issue it's better than the alternatives. Meantime I'll have a play with the other options on my test server and will report back. Ultimately, the answer is upgraded hosting - but short of running the forum on my own server (which is at the end of a fast dsl line, so not exactly ideal) it's going to be a stretch to do it before early next year. Thanks for being so understanding, guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
