Tash Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The forum just crashed because of the people who are downloading everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tifosi Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 All you're doing is generating html snapshots of pages generated by complex db driven software. And pissing me off. I don't want to start blocking IP's because someone is leeching bandwidth and causing server issues. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Alright. I won't care anymore. Let it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifosi Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Alright. I won't care anymore. Let it be. It's not about you not caring, it's that you're doing something ineffectual and causing server load issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't know about others but I was downloading @~27Kbps - which I highly doubt it would harm any server or this site wouldn't carry 2 users online at the same time. It would take all night and one more day maybe but I don't care because everybody is worried about this site getting closed and everything I see is lots of pages of people trying to help but apparently nothing that we do but finding $10k from nowhere and buying this site and getting alone $300/month to maintain it seems to help. I live in Brazil, this country is shit - yes it is - and I am not rich here but I swear I would gladly pay 10~15 dollars a month to use this messageboard if only you guys could give us a chance. I know that you guys know how we feel like home in here and how sad we are about how things are going but I am really, really sorry that there's nothing we can do to save it. This messageboard has been a reference in terms of fast information, multimedia, fun, expectation, live blogging and soooo on for me and loads of people. I don't see how we can get anything any close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Pretty sure there are more issues behind this than just being a server leech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifosi Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It's getting busier because of the new single & impending album, but software like this create artificial ddos attacks by creating permanent multiple concurrent connections adding to the normal page requests and tying up the server.

Captain Crieff Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is that the reason the forum was closed last night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Alright so you guys just skipped the part in which I talk about trying to help and stuff. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tifosi Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is that the reason the forum was closed last night? Yes, the board has built in load checks. We're doing what we can, and all data is stored, backed up, archived. Nothing will be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^and found publicly where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Look, your intentions may be good, but I also fail to see how after Stephen has explained about hogging up server resources, and encouraging others to do the same, is ultimately helpful for the site. Sure, you get some data, it's probably not going to be 100% and the whole thing is also causing extra undue problems and possibly stress EDIT: Oh damn, ninja'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^I won't backup anything anymore. Next topic: were do we get the data found here after it closes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevolutionDude Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I mean...I want to be optimistic. I love Coldplaying. But I feel like there's really nothing we can do, and there's also no way of knowing what's gonna happen. But I'm happy I got to be a part of this community :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
