Warpstorm temporarily down
Just a heads up for any Warpstormers here (I know there are a few) that Warpstorm will be down for a bit.

Chesch posted a bulletin but not everyone saw it. We had unexpectedly reached 90% of our bandwidth load. Proably a combination of software updates and increased traffic.

Well we hit the limit a few days ago. We're still debating over paying for more bandwidth or waiting it out.

The board isn't broken at all. The software works fine, it's the traffic that's a problem. We're working on some solutions to that as well.

If anything changes I'll post it here.

Only 0.99 cents per gig a month after the first 5 free gigs. We're working on a system to compensate.

This is to let most Warpstormers know:

Due to the increase in traffic and bandwidth useage, a new policy is likely to be instated.

To reduce traffic load, we will be most likely removing image uploads without a donation.

Not a large donation. Something like $1 for so many months of upload time. Cheap but effective. If people don't want to donate, they'll just have to find a free server like photobucket. an0n, I think you have such a service don't you?

Regardless, whether people pay or use off-site uploading it'll help. I'll also probably enstate cracking down on smiley and image spam.

This isn't for sure but it's an idea.

Yes but we're getting it for 3 years of total free service with 1and1. By the time it's over, we'll be on a new server.

If you're running at like (*does quick calculation*) 10Gb/month, I can host WS, no problems.

Thanks an0n, I'll keep that in mind. We'll see what it looks like with the new system and make some determinations from there.

If anyone's wondering, I hope to get Warpstorm up and running again before next week.

You need an admin to reset your password. Happened to everyone.
You can so tell where the posts end....

Icy has been apparently working on the bandwidth problem so we think we can get it fixed up. Attachments may end up just being reduced in size limtations.

Oh and Bobboau, remind me when WS goes back up to give you a new pass.
