OMG, WHERE IS THE CHAT? The sequel

[UsuarioTHf]

So, if the chat was working, it'd kill the site?!

Not really. It's just that some random-and-disgraceful times the chat uses way more processing power than usual, thus taking up the remaining resources of the site (...um...can't find better explanation) and the site host takes the site down since it affects them too.

And it remains down 'till Suyo/Runouw take down the chat.

Oh crap not again... D:
Is it coming back this time?

Or do we have to use backup chat forever?

[Karyete]

That chat likes making our lives rough.

(Let's see if I can tell you something you don't know...)

Did you even listen to Suyo? [namechange]

Uh, is it possible to put Mibbit as something to put on top of the forum page? It'd be awesome to know we have a chat back at the top of the page.

So nice to see you don't read the first page like if it's tl;dr-like, when it's just 3 paragraphs.

Mibbit is in no way associated with Runouw.com.


I'm afraid we can't do that, sir.

Or else, Mibbit would go like "Afraid I can't let you do that, Star Fox Runouw."

I liked the smilies and stuff on the new chat...

(Thanks for fielding that, Usu.) Yes, Runouw's account with the company putting the site on the web (the host for the site) has limits on how much information is stored on the site (storage), how much information is transferred through the internet for people visiting the site (bandwidth), and how much processing power the host's server have to devote to these processes including running code (ram usage and processor usage). These limits are put on the account so that the host can assure all of their customers (people with web pages) that they will have the resources they need.

Our site was using too much of these resources, so the host, to protect themselves, shut down our account. We discovered, when we looked at the statistics of what was happening, that the chat seemed to be the part of the site using the most resources, so it was shut down. This happened two months ago, and it is happening again now.

Runouw has a good idea of what to do this time (though I do not know what his idea is), and he is putting it in motion as quickly as possible. We have the added benefit of all the brainstorming we did, the last time this happened, being available to speed up the process this time. Be patient, and all will be well.

Is Runouw's idea to put a limit on how many people can be in a chat room at once? Though people wouldn't like it if they were forced to talk about a certain subject. Maybe we can have Chatroom 1, Chatrom 2, Chatroom, 3, and so on. Instead of certain channels for different topics, any channel can be used for any topic.

One question for Suyo. [Suyo got name change pplz]


Is Server still a member of our site?
