Woody Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I am not internet savy enough to know what that means. Can anyone explain what is going on. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
cricket Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Sure! It means that Stan's working hard to keep this place open and running so that we can keep on talking. It's not an easy task and he's frustrated. Quote
Woody Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I was looking for the more technical stuff. What is actually happening that is causing the trouble? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
cricket Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 If I gave you the technical answer, would you understand it? Quote
Stan Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 Something funny is happening, and that does not solve the problems. For some reason we are getting swamped, at the current rate we are will have 1,000,000 page views in January.. Something just seems wrong with that.. too much of an increase.. ANYWAY.. it means stronger server with more traffic... needed... We sre not coming close to our max capacity band width, but the machine we have gets heated up and shuts down, and needs to be manually rebooted... I talk with their tech people all the time,, they are in the Philippians and/or India and takes from 4 to 48 hours to do what is needed, sometimes I get lucky and get someone in North America. That mean the operating cost will jump about $100 per month... gotta figure out how to pull that off...

Stan Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 I do not want this to sound at all like I am anti overseas workers, it is just that I need someone closer to the machine.

Stan Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 I may have done my math wrong,,, it should be 600,000 or so Quote If you receive benefit to being here please help out with expenses. https://www.paypal.me/clubadventist Administrator of a few websites like https://adventistdating.com
Dr. Shane Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Still, the number of views on the various threads does not reflect even close to that. I was wondering if spamming sites are somehow targetting us unintentionally. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
Stan Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 page views is not that accurate There have been times when there were 40 people viewing a thread, (an example was the fire at Southern where that young girl died.) and the thread count was only 5 views. Those number may be off, but that is an example, I reported this to the people who make the software...

Dr. Shane Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 foroadventista's best month was last November at just under 65,000 hits but that is far less than 600,000. 600,000 is a very impressive number. It shows that a lot of people are reading our posts here. Or a much smaller group is coming very freaquantly. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Moderators John317 Posted January 29, 2007 Moderators Posted January 29, 2007 Looks like we have to find another server on another provider.... GRRRRRRR Thanks for the explanations, Stan and you all. Nice to know what's happening. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
