K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 But it's not good enough. SMF sucks. We gotta find something better.
Naraku4656 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Lithium hey that's a great idea! i have a vanity link that's probably not even being used boards.adultswim.com IT'S PERFECT
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 And make Adult Swim pay for it I think them not wanting to pay for it is why we're here.
Naraku4656 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I think them not wanting to pay for it is why we're here. real talk, i refuse to believe that nodebb is that expensive. considering it made Lithium look good by comparison.
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 real talk, i refuse to believe that nodebb is that expensive. considering it made Lithium look good by comparison. Hosting a website with more than a few simultaneous active users is expensive. This server is a little over $200/month.
Naraku4656 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Hosting a website with more than a few simultaneous active users is expensive. This server is a little over $200/month. if the 20 of us is that expensive, i wonder how much the ASMB was in the golden age (2005-2007)
mochi Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Hosting a website with more than a few simultaneous active users is expensive. This server is a little over $200/month. well this server won't last long then
Rogue_Alphonse Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 But it's not good enough. SMF sucks. We gotta find something better. I have an Eaton M62 supercharger I can donate...
Naraku4656 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 i can donate a Pentium 2, the fastest processor IN THE WURLD
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 well this server won't last long then Eh, I have money.
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 if the 20 of us is that expensive, i wonder how much the ASMB was in the golden age (2005-2007) We have a load average of ~50 active users, occasionally up to 100. 20 would be easy.
mochi Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Eh, I have money. yeah but what if this place actually gets popular and the price goes up? ::]::
AnimationFan14 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 yeah but what if this place actually gets popular and the price goes up? ::]:: Hmm I may have an idea, we let Moose back in so the popularity never gets too high

Top Gun Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 But it's not good enough. SMF sucks. We gotta find something better. What exactly is the bottleneck? The actual database calls? I have another forum that's been using SMF for an eternity; I could ask them what sort of hardware they're hosted on as a comparison point.
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 What exactly is the bottleneck? The actual database calls? I have another forum that's been using SMF for an eternity; I could ask them what sort of hardware they're hosted on as a comparison point. It's too many database calls combined with too many users at once. Or something Viper and Admin installed that's hammering the database.
Ric Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Cool, now bring back downvoting The update broke upvoting, so don't expect downvoting anytime soon.
André Toulon Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 The update broke upvoting, so don't expect downvoting anytime soon. I noticed that last night....Can't like stuff and can't see who liked your shit.....I'd still give all that up to be able to downvote
Still Me Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I noticed that last night....Can't like stuff and can't see who liked your shit.....I'd still give all that up to be able to downvote im cool with down voting, as long as their is no post penalty....that shit is retarded
NaBarney Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 im cool with down voting, as long as their is no post penalty....that shit is retarded How about people with a lot of downvotes can't see zeni posts... everybody wins
Still Me Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 How about people with a lot of downvotes can't see zeni posts... everybody wins wouldn't blocking him do the same fucking thing?
André Toulon Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 wouldn't blocking him do the same fucking thing? People have no restraint....Seeing "you are ignoring this person" is like a pile of shit to a fly....They have to check it out. Blocking won't work for some unless it totally erases the poster from view
Ric Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 People have no restraint....Seeing "you are ignoring this person" is like a pile of shit to a fly....They have to check it out. Blocking won't work for some unless it totally erases the poster from view Nah it's totally not that, they can still see some Zeni threads on the front page haven't you heard? Very traumatic.
Still Me Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 that is rather pathetic....but then again, blocking someone could potentially ruin a context to a thread...
NaBarney Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 People have no restraint....Seeing "you are ignoring this person" is like a pile of shit to a fly....They have to check it out. Blocking won't work for some unless it totally erases the poster from view It works great for me, but most people aren't as great as me so you're probably right.
Still Me Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 It works great for me, but most people aren't as great as me so you're probably right. nab
André Toulon Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 On topic, it WAS faster last night, but I've gotten the error page like 6 times this morning
NaBarney Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 On topic, it WAS faster last night, but I've gotten the error page like 6 times this morning Yeah it's faster when it works but there's been times where the site is down for many minutes. I assume that means an admin is fucking with something and that'll stop after today, idk
Misaka Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 It's faster but yea not $200/month faster. $200 should be able to pay for us. There's a problem that needs fixing. Viper did say you guys were letting spiders in too. Is that right? well as long as luuv doesn't remove the forced registration page that should stop it but I doubt it although KN should have more say since it is his server so the viewing should be his choice
wacky1980 Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 haven't been on since yesterday afternoon, but i don't see any increase in speed this morning.
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 I'll fix the like button thing at some point. Right now my concern is speeding things up. Particularly finding exactly what is causing the slowdown and fixing that part.
K_N Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 Bots and non-logged in users can't view any part of the board anymore.
Azalar Hex Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 I'm still getting a timeout on the FFA page about 20% of the time. But my wireless has been shit lately, so it could just be on my end.
Guest The Hound Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Bots and non-logged in users can't view any part of the board anymore. >now that i leave >all my ideas are actually being utilized.
Mix Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 >now that i leave >all my ideas are actually being utilized. you left? well, welcome back ::]:: how're things...wife and kids ok.....did gam gam's garden win first prize again this year.... I don't know anything about you
K_N Posted July 6, 2017 Author Posted July 6, 2017 >now that i leave >all my ideas are actually being utilized. Your idea didn't matter before. Having a normal TLD exposes us to 10 times as much traffic.
Sawdamizer Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Hosting a website with more than a few simultaneous active users is expensive. Damn so that Poof cash got eaten up quick. This server is a little over $200/month.
K_N Posted July 6, 2017 Author Posted July 6, 2017 The bill for this server is basically the only thing I use my credit card for, so it's cool for now... unless I get fired or something then ya'll gotta pony up.
K_N Posted July 7, 2017 Author Posted July 7, 2017 That's greatly appreciated because I find myself lacking morals.
Misaka Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 That's greatly appreciated because I find myself lacking morals. Wait we have a morals support group? Since when!? Why wasn't I told!? Admin[/member] you jerk
