uhhhh.. I was talking about if you guys wanted to save photos not threads o.O I think the owners have saved the data already.

The forum just crashed because of the people who are downloading everything.

:uhoh: guys stop that, it's an important night

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.

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.

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.

Pretty sure there are more issues behind this than just being a server leech

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.

Is that the reason the forum was closed last night?

Alright so you guys just skipped the part in which I talk about trying to help and stuff. Cool.

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.

^and found publicly where?

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

^I won't backup anything anymore.

 

Next topic: were do we get the data found here after it closes?

Sorry for crashing (?) the server last night. Since no one else really does anything to save this forum, I just wanted to help :dozey:

Gods, in moments like this I miss the thanks button so much.

I want to thank that post about missing the thanks button.

(Thank you)

Don't worry guys, it will be ok :)

Don't worry guys, it will be ok :)

I'm not convinced.

Neither am I.

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 :)

Neither am I.

Seriously, are we the only ones out of registered 93,357 members that give a flying f*ck about this place? :uhoh:

I'm sure that here are so many people who would like to help. But how? :\
