Server Downtime

Mike · **Posted:** October 13th, 2005, 6:01 pm

Here's a place to discuss the news entry

First of all we would like to say sorry for all the downtime we have had lately, we have been moving servers and we had some software and hardware problems on the new server, but they are all fixed now, and the server should be running fine and as fast as our old server was 3 weeks ago. And before that the server was awfully slow making viewing it almost impossible to view the site, and that was because RuneHQ was also in the process of moving servers, and they temporarily had their forums on the same server as us which in turn greatly reduced performance. Signatures were disabled during this downtime, but they are now enabled again, and the server is recreating all the sigs right now, you can still create new sigs while this is happening though.
Next item of news is about our partnership with RuneHQ, we have removed their guides, and databases from our site. We believe we can give our users a more active part in our site, and will be developing our own guides and databases with your help. Currently we are getting stuff ready to display the guides and databases, but we will be looking through our new submissions forum, guides forum, and our feedback for any help you can give us. PLAGIARISM will NOT be tolerated, we are looking for people who can help us without copying what other people have said, this must be from your own knowledge only.
RuneHQ has been very nice to us, and for the past 6 months they have been hosting us for a fraction of the amount it really costs, on their old server. We finished moving our stuff to a new server that we are paying for ourselves now. We do not have enough to pay back RuneHQ for over the $1000 worth of hosting we got for free from them, and we aren't making enough from the ads to pay for the server we are now on. We would very much appreciate any help that you could provide by donating with paypal (we have only ever gotten 2 donations since we put that up)
RuneHQ is still partners with us, and they still have permission to use our calculator's.

The signatures are still being recreated.

Also you can't use html in your signature.

Don't worry they are still there just have to be remade.

Finally.

I am happy the forums are back online. That lag was starting to get annoying. Good job getting it back up guys.

I really want to donate to the site so this doesn't go offline. I am not sure that I will be able to get the permission to do so though. It is already enough of a pain to get permission to play members... I'll try my best to throw in some money though.

I want to donate too, but I'm sure my dad doesn't care.

If I had a credit card I'd donate 100 DOLLARS!!!
