Hey Tage

Did one of your friends at Slummites post a link on fark again?  Because this lag is horrible.

Yeah, I was noticing the lag too. Unfortunately, I never know when we get a big hit spike until the day after, when I can see the usage reports. The load on the server doesn't *say* it's getting pounded, but remember that I'm still on a shared server. If the whole box is getting hit heavily, then we'll feel it too.

EDIT: Nevermind, there was a huge spike from fark yesterday, and I think it's safe to assume that it's continuing today. Sorry for the lag, everyone.

I don't want to come off sounding rude but do you think you could talk to them about that.  I realise that it's your server and that we're here because of you, but it's realy inconsiderate to us and the others you host when they do that.

I just disabled the offending pic.

Yeah, I think you're right. Back when we had a better server, even fark hits weren't that problematic. It's obvious now that's not the case anymore.

uhh

Don't we WANT more readers? That is, one assumes, a goal for all webpages.

I take it the problem of funding now pops up, a perhaps not inappropraite phrase?

what there doing is posting a picture in a forum the same way we can include one in our posts.  The people aren't actualy visiting the site just viewing a picture from it.

no but slummites.org is.  Both that site and TWG are hosted on Tage's server throught rickstranger.com.  So when that site uses a lot of BW we feel it.

Slummites is a place for my online friends to hang out, so I generally let them do whatever they want with their space alotment. Anyway, it's no big deal, we won't get stuff like that anymore.

Perhaps you could look into an indirect-linking block, so that people actually have to visit the site to view an image? Doesn't really take away your friends' ability to post images, just requires that viewers actually click the link on the 'fark' forum (whatever that is) to view the image.

Just a thought.

No, it's usually handled in an .htaccess file, or even better in the httpd.conf file. You have to have root access to edit the httpd.conf file, so you'll probably want to us an .htaccess instead. Make a file called .htaccess with the following:

ErrorDocument 404 /the404file.php

where "the404file.php" is whatever file you want it to go to.

here's another fun database problem for you.  on Mr.P's robotech battlecry review it wont let me save meta tags.  I want to put gamecube there, I've tried other ones as well and nothing saved.  However 2 other reviews of his saved them.

EDIT: ok I cannot add meta tags to any of the rpg reviews that I need to.  Trying to add decipher to several.

there's a problem with the RPG header Tage.  No when looking at an article in that deparment it shows the normal TWG header not the RPG one.
