Server Integrity Restored!

Post by seraph0x »

Hey folks,

We had some issues with the server the last few days so you may have experienced Milovana to be unusually slow or altogether unreachable. The issue seems to have been related to a recent server update which has reset some of our configuration. After so many years of tweaking, our server settings are quite tuned and a reset to the defaults means that the server is quickly overwhelmed by the amount of incoming requests.

Long story short, we hope the issues are hereby resolved, although we'll keep a close watch on it. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Cheers,

Seraph0x :-)

We just had another outage. This one coincided with very high user numbers. An all time record in fact, the forum reports 329 users were online at once. Jeez guys. :-P

I'll see what I can do with tweaking, but it may be time to upgrade our infrastructure again. Always a bit of a two-edged sword, on the one hand of course I'm happy about Milovana's increasing popularity, but the monthly cost of running it is starting to cut into my pizza budget a little bit. :whistle:

I, for one, would have no problem with a banner ad here and there if that helped cover the cost of running the site...

Well, the thing is: There is a difference between normal sites and adult sites. With normal sites you just put Google AdSense and start cashing the checks they send you. With adult sites, you are usually paid as an affiliate and you get a percentage when people sign up for some other site.

So the question is: Which adult site would Milovana members actually sign up for? Especially since they are goddamn cheap-asses (like myself). :lol:

Suggestions are more than welcome, but send them via PM, firstly I'll get them more quickly and secondly we don't want everybody to go sign up there, before we can set ourselves up as an affiliate, or it would kind of defeat the purpose. :-)
