Well, our projects are hosted free by TWSites, but their server kept giving us so many bugs with SSCentral and the Forums, we had to move them. Now it feels re!@#$%^&*ed leaving them there, because they are hosted for free, for what was originally meant for the sites. Yes, we we're allowed to stay on free when we told em we we're going to move, and DoCk> said to stay for free since we pretty much funded the start of TWSites.com (Buying 2 of the biggest packages combined into 1) and so we did. Swift has 2 or 3 sites on there, 2 of which are semi-affiliated with this game, and I myself have 1 for my brother on there, not affiliated with the game, amongst other planned future projects. If you don't mind us moving those, then I'll just do that, but I just hate taking free resources that we're meant for another purpose.

It's good. Just like a long episode of the show, nothing more really.

So a few weeks ago, joe (swift) and myself decided to buy a VPS. Both of us have a lot of side projects, and would feel bad putting everything on TT's server. We decided to get a VPS from JaguarPC, good reviews, tons of good feedback, them and LiquidWeb we're rated the top 2 from everything I saw. JaguarPC opened a bunch of new servers, and had a huge discount to promote them, I took them. I got the server ready, and figured SSForum would be a great live environment to throw at it, since we get a lot of traffic here, and IPB is very consuming on the server at times. Well, it'd seem the Interworx control panel never got fully installed correctly, and I think it is also !@#$%^&*in the rest of the server up. I have all the correct ports open, but if I turn on the firewall, FTP dies. Funny enough, it worked just fine, just one night didn't, and I found when I turned off the firewall, all worked fine. No ports had been touched in a week atleast. Also it'd seem a lot of php isn't parsing correctly, and I've searched the entire php.ini, found no odd settings. I am continuously getting e-mails from my control panel saying the cron is messing up the daily job it runs, although I have not gotten that today yet, oddly. The final straw has now come though. Last night, I went to login to my control panel, and it said my license was invalid. E-Mailed their tech support, and they got on it asap, even set my ticket to emergency. They got it working again, sweet. Now, I logged in about 10mins ago: **WARNING** This control panel license will expire in: 6 hours 29 minutes 5 seconds. Funny enough, that would be around the same time I logged in yesterday, and found the control panel license "Invalid". I have never heard anything like this about the Interworx control panel, and I even told them the install seemed bugged, but they just fixed my license supposively, and said all looked fine. I have ran servers self-managed, and with so much management, they barely give you ssh, and neither have given me so many issues setting anything up, or given so many odd faults. The plan right now is to get the files from forums.sscentral.com, and any new uploads moved to ssforum.net on TT's server. Than I will get the software there to connect to the db here, and update the dns. I will however kill uploads/attachments, so we don't lose any until the forum is moved. So in other words, if all goes right, you shouldn't even notice the site has moved. I am not saying JaguarPC is bad, their tech support is great, but that I just got a bad install of my control panel, and it seems they don't want to believe so. I just don't have the money for a dedicated server right now, and a shared is just so limiting to what I'd like to do. I guess I'll have to discuss a few things with TT and see what we can come up with. I work a short shift just driving the box trucks back and forth today (1pm - 6pm PST), and after that, I will begin work on this issue. Sorry guys, didn't go as we had planned it sadly. All for now.

Yes, you heard right. Our IPB install has broken itself. How, I have yet to figure out. I tried re-downloading all the files, and uploading em.. still all the same bugs. I re-downloaded the forum central db through the forum, and through phpMyAdmin, neither fixed the bugs in a trial test. I have moved many forums across servers (only this and 1 other across domains) for people, and never ran into such issues before. I am really baffled on this one. We are pushing our 4th year on a phpBB converted DB, and I think that is starting to show. With so many changes IPB has gone through, I have seen many larger forums struggle with issues, and now see why. There is no reason for anything not working to not work. The only choice I can now see is a fresh install of all the files. This would mean the Arcade, SSRPG, mods, and skins (which currently can't seem to be retrieved anyways) would be whiped. We'd start from ground zero on those. The db is fine, fully intact, size matches to the forum central down to a .1kb, so I know the problem does no lay there. I am going to discuss this issue with Syrus, and go from there.

To get to the point... Subspace.net is useless to us. Before the sale, we updated all the links we could find to it from gaming sites to SSCentral.com or SSDownloads.com. Subspace.net was down, so it was decided to do so, !@#$%^&*, some point to ssforum.net. So any that still point to the ssnet domain, we can fix, or are not needed. The only thing he'll get is players going down memory lane, who'll find subspace is "gone" and won't return. The important domain is Subspacehq, not Subspace.net. The domain that was featured on ZDNet; Linked on IGN, Gamepro, etc.; and that was the main site of all the old news stories and new players. Yes, subspace.net kept alive longer, and brought more traffic in its later days, but beyond that, if anyone was to still find our game by these stories or anything, they'd end up there. So really, whining about needing subspace.net back is pointless, as SubspaceHQ was the site for Subspace as we knew it. Subspace.net was the site for continuum, as it mostly began getting a lot of its traffic around this time. Sadly, SSHQ has been lost, and it is what we should really focus on retrieving in the future.

As long as it doesn't apply to guests, tech support will be fine. The captcha system has knocked out 99% of spam there, proving the previous spam was nothing more than bots.

Done

Aegis wing? huh? I do?

Later today, now that the DNS has updated, I will be moving the forums back to SSForum.net. I want to wait til a low time in activity to do it, and a time when I have some free time. Gotta go look at some apartments and a few houses today, but I will work on it once I get a chance to drop by my parents to use my computer. I don't have any of the stuff on my gf's laptop. And I have a slower upload speed here compared to home. Some updates coming: hyperspace.ssforum.net -> ssforum.net/hs complex.ssforum.net -> ssforum.net/tc utzone.ssforum.net -> ssforum.net/ut etc. etc. Going to try and REALLY manipulate mod_rewrite and the ipb software to make ssforum.net/hs/(topicid) to work all right, and to get the software to manipulate things right. But that will come in time, and is what I was hoping to do with the domain that I can't as easily with the subdomain. forums.sscentral.com/hs/topicid would just be soo long and stupid. This is only if HS would like this of course, and the other zones. So we'll see what happens. All for now.

We already left TWSites.com, just had not finished. As much as we love DoCk>, we ran into 1 too many times of our sites being down, the ftp locking/clogging up after transfering so many files (takes 5-6 retries to get ALL of the ipb files uploaded), and just other little things. Doesn't feel right leeching off of people to me when I know I have the money to pay for it. So we got our own vps for our projects.

What is up... SSForum.net's dns is updating. The domain was still on our account at TWSites.com that we have neglected to clean out and have removed. So it and many of our other project domains from there, and another server are being moved to a new server. SSCentral will probably follow suit soon if things work well. We love the free hosting TT has given us, but we don't feel right putting all of our projects on here, and it'd just be a mess with how we do things with SSCentral and all having them piled in the whm too. We also decided to try out a new Control Panel. Cpanel is great and all, but there are others worth looking at, and Interworx has always interested me. A lot more well laid out. The way the Siteworx control panel login works I dislike, but the way it is all organized, laid out, and controlled I like a lot so far. Again, this doesn't mean sscentral will move, but we are moving all our other domains off of TWSites.com and such, to close those accounts.

<? header('Location: http://www.getcontinuum.com'); ?> But close enough.

that mobo is too old to support sata 3Gb/s (300MB/s). Leave the Pin in, or you'll get all sorts of errors. 1.5Gigabits/second = 150Megabytes/second 78Megabytes/second = the maximum sustained, or constant transfer. If I remember right, the 150MB/s = the speed data is passed between the memory and hard drive, and 78MB/s = the transfer from 1 hard drive to another, or cd-rom to hard drive.

MM... just finally read this thread... here is another one... for those trying to read through past net-bans and such... ?listban -* #id #wanted IE: ?listban -* #2200 20 :: Will list 20 net-bans starting from #2200. Not sure how well known, but figured i'd share it. There was another syntax to cause that also, more of a bug, but I forget how.

Well, the thing is, SSForum.net is still on the twsites account hosting a couple of sites. No issues there. I have a server using a sscentral.com subdomain for a domain alias and all, and recently it itself was being hit by traffic, spam, and hack attempts. The firewall log is pages long. Now, I'm not 100% sure if it is continuuing on the main domain, TT hasn't imed me about it anymore. But the bot spam is continuuing. So it is all in relation to the sscentral.com domain itself. The new style is nice, yes, but what is the point if everyone is typing www.ssforum.net anyways. Literally, 9/10 people I talk to, type www.ssforum.net.

Noone has any clue who did it. I mentioned it to GS, but he didn't know who updated it all either. So this bumping is pointless. Topic closed since it has died off.

you mean 3gb/s not 300gb/s. Does your motherboard support 1.5gb/s Sata or 3gb/s Sata II? if the 1st, you need to jumper it to make it run properly at 1.5gb/s. if the 2nd, than what are you transfering from and to? Could also be causing the issues.

Oh... and to Register, you have to do Captcha, Tell how many ships in Subspace/Continuum, and E-mail Verification... So we know the 2-3 spam accounts we run into daily, are people, not bots.

I know we just had a poll about this, but moving it to general. I think these reasons give a bit more insight on my thoughts lately. Moved: Hidden Lounge -> General

1. I think the spamming has to do honestly, with all the attacks on SSCentral.com. It'd seem we have been having all sorts of attacks, hack attempts, and DoSs attempts (one that was VERY close to taking the server down) lately. Around this same time, we have had tons of spam members joining left and right. To the point I have even debated doing admin verification of new members (won't, but debated). 2. Honestly, it is what most people know these forums as. Yes, I was able to boost traffic as Forums.SSCentral.com and get a lot of people here, but most members still just type http://www.ssforum.net to get here. 3. Mod_Rewrite would allow me to do a lot of nice things for zone forums. IE: masking, or making a shorter url to their forums, etc. Rather than just a redirect. 4. It feels like a waste trying to keep a domain alive just to have it redirect. We lose it, we lose the menu redirects on continuum, all the links around ss, and someone could take it, and do some malicious things with it to unknowing players. Opinions?

http://www.subspace.net - Owned by AhmedF. Wonderer was able to bargain with him having it mirror GetContinuum.com, but seems he has either changed it, or we now know where Wonderer has gone. http://www.subspacehq.com - Minibari Warship went missing a long time ago, and we lost ds98.com and its servers. Luckily mackie got him to point it after lots of e-mailing I'd guess, but than the domain expired, and Minibari has still never been heard from. http://www.sscontinuum.com - D+ and Gameplay got a divorce. So D+ is trying to build http://www.subspace.ws into something, but according to Rowen, it'd seem it isn't going anywhere at the moment.

Wee... almost got my computer back up and running. Gotta love when your C drive oddly corrupts, and when you go into XP Repair and try to dir the C drive, it shows nothing, and when reinstalling xp, it shows only 1mb used on C:\. Atleast my D drive is fine, so all my do!@#$%^&*ents and program files we're saved, gotta love that... grr.
