MrPsychic 1 Posted February 24, 2005 The board was just down for a short time, complete with a message giving the time. Was this a server update or a basic board upgrade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted February 24, 2005 That was because the server was being overloaded. I don't know what was causing the overload and I doubt very much that the overload had anything to do with us but thats what it was. As many people know we are on a shared server, meaning that STF is located on a computer with many other websites. If one or more of those sites are getting a very large amount of traffic (thousands of people logging on) then it will slow the server down. This is what my server status page looks like normally: Click For Spoiler This is what it looks like when there is a VERY high server load: Click For Spoiler At other times some of the other "green lights" may become red if that particular aspect of the server is down but usually it's the server load that's causing the problems. I would love to go to a dedicated server, meaning that STF would be the only site on that server but that is about $250 per month and there's no way I can do that lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yillara Skye 1 Posted February 28, 2005 Ah ok.. I figured it was probably just an update.. so I just waited and checked back to see if the boards were back up online later on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted February 28, 2005 95% Memory used? Will this cause future problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted February 28, 2005 when it refers to that picture, it means that the memory being used at that particular moment is at 95%. It's been fine recently, so I'm guessing they fixed the server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
