I love this gif.

I'll just leave this here, can't find words to comment tbh:

Server:Apache/2.2.14 (Win32)

lol r u serios

wouldn't have expected any less from you

but for reference, like i said - it was a quick fix, if i wanted to host it on a linux box i would have had to set it up, fail horribly at it and then figure it out after a few hours, i had this windows vm available and it has more than enough resources than you'd expect so vOv

Out of curiosity, which site's referral broke the camel's back?

I would have guessed that the linking of the Newsletter Leak thread on eurogamer and that other gaming site that was mentioned in the thread played a more pivotal role in it, but the timing with the Bartholomeus Crane wall of text being linked on e-o coincided perfectly with the lol-chmod 000 403 error.

concurrent users were average compared to other days, so i'd guess they JUST noticed it, when EVE-O forums were down we had like 400-500 and they didn't even flinch.

Or perhaps it was just them being useless faggots and noticing db load too late.

BTW, it takes enormous level of idiocy to kill website on first "transgression". It is, kind of natural for webpages to grow in popularity and thus, at some point outgrow limits of their 'unlimited' account.
Every sane hoster would contact webpage admin, expalain the situation and offer dedicated server. If he is good, he would add some congratulatory small talk and offer 'special' long time customer promotion for the dedicated box. After all, sending nice e-mail doesn't cost him anything, even if website in question is some malicious junk and it's owner was planning to bail at nearest sight of trouble.

Automatically erasing website simply guarantees that you just lost dedicated box customer.

yewp, just read this gem:

and my response:

Well taking into account the ethics of your company when acting on violations and the damages you have caused to the community i run all i can tell you is that you can kindly shove the dedicated servers up whichever hole is more convenient for you guys since there's no telling what you plan to do - and its not like you would tell me until you did it anyways.

I am currently cleaning up the stuff i have up and will be cancelling my account promptly.

Yours,

Welp, failheap-challenge.com is derping again after working for a while. :V

edit: never mind, not having "www." in my bookmark breaks shit, apparently.

[Ix Forres]

I have a spare (okay, it runs two Dystopia servers and a MC server plus my emails/blog) machine (it's the one that used to run EVE Metrics). More than happy to put Failheap on it. Should run phpBB like a boss.

I think I'll move the babethread to justhost.com.
