400,000 hits per day is reasonable for most sites. With that kind of traffic, a simple ad text box can probably generate a couple thousand dollars every month, certainly more than enough for a dedicated server.

I found a good blog on this issue from JapanProbe http://reentryjapan.blogspot.com/ From an interview with Professor David McNeill of Sophia University This is also worth reading

Situation resolved. :full:

Well I haven't seen it shared anywhere I bother to visit. i.e. Not on the obvious bittorrent sites and not on share.

There may be a downtime starting today. It also may not happen. If it does happen the forum will be back within 3 days at most. That is all.

Getting banned from 4chan isn't a big deal when you have a dynamic IP. It is sorta weird what they ban for though.

Further clarification: Reputation hovertext updates every 24 hours or so. It's based on rep points. 1 'thanks' = 20 rep points. Regular reputation giving is based on rep power, which is measured according to how long you've been registered and how many reps YOU have. This only applies when...

Interesting.. a google got me http://www.discussnames.com/showthread.php?t=20068 Seems to have a similar/identical problem. Seems most likely (since the platforms and browsers are different) that it's an ISP DNS issue. The forum's IP address is 67.159.26.89 and should be accessible (unaffected...

Oh... yea that's called an interstitial ad, you've not been diverted, the "skip ad" removes the frame. They're only supposed to show up for people who don't block ads, and only a maximum of once every 24 hours.

If they're hosted by servage, it's not the bandwidth. It's beyond impossible the site uses over 3Terabytes per month bandwidth. Akiba-Online, with guest access, hotlinking and much higher traffic than kawaii15, uses barely 2TB per month. More likely their downtime is related to something else...

I hope they weren't suspended for issues relating to content. That would be a bad omen.

Precisely... If I'd enabled the rep system from the beginning then he'd have like...20 green dots.

You can now give each other reputation points (both positive and negative) as well as feedback without posting in a thread saying "thanks". Simply click on the reputation icon on the post. This contributes to the number of green dots you have. You can also see reputation comments in your User...

Yea, I agree. What I've done is I've enabled the vBulletin "reputation" system feature. High reputations will lead to "status" increases (VIP usergroups, different coloured names...maybe some other stuff I haven't thought of yet..) Thanks add to reputation, as does the reputation "scales" at...

That's slightly worrying. Have you tried using adblock with a filterlist blocking the adbrite ads on the page? I know adbrite target ads at people according to where they live (IP range) so perhaps someone targetting your range has added some malicious code into their recurring ad script... Any...

It's released for sale in a week.

Well that's swell. It's actually causing a lot of fuss on 2channel at the moment, but it's certainly not "almost" AV... as you can see from the video preview :snicker: I'm mostly just posting to give people a heads up :full:

Works for me (yuck. I can't stand opera)

No intention of losing the forum database or attachments again. The forum now has a regular backup cycle (e.g. if the server exploded, right now, the forum could be restored with a backup from 2 days ago with all attachments and posts)

Yea it's down. Hong (the dude) formatted it to install CPanel. It was probably backed up first, but I dunno. Not necessarily the wrong forum though. And even if it was, it's up to the mods to fix it, not berate members over it *cough*

DB errors happen in the following situations: - When the site/server uses a buttload of traffic for a sustained period (the current - shitty - datacentre punishes bandwidth extreme usage by capping it) which then means that the server's input (requests) outnumber the tasks (producing pages) it...

I always mount the image with daemon-tools and then play it with either MPC or PowerDVD.

Nah, the only H-manga I bought in Japan was stuff I wouldn't be embarrassed getting caught at customs with. i.e. large boobs, no child sex (except for my comiket doujins which I was just hoping wouldn't be rifled through...and they weren't)

No mailserver.

Though the bulk of my H-manga collection is on a HDD I can't access at the moment (external 500GB, I lost the cable to power it up) I did a quick check and have 2 of his mangas on one of my "to sort" HDDs. You have to google to check which of his other books have been released and I can check...

ctrl+f5 reloads from the server, f5 just reloads from cache (on a static page text too, but also for images with the same paths) and the saaya thread i noticed the same thing. the thread table sorts itself out in cycles though, either every hour or every 24 hours, and when someone posts.

I wanna get a permanent theme in place, rather than a season thing. Maybe seasonal banners. But not green. I'm sick of the green too. I might just colour-shift all the existing elements and make a new banner. It's pretty headache-inducing. I've actually been looking around for some cool...

Doesn't windows XP take care of that? I've installed various operating systems from scratch and my DVD-RW drive never needed drivers. When it decided to break on me (slowed to a crawl) was to go into device manager (in XP) and go to the corresponding IDE/ATA/ATAPI controller, click properties...

With firefox, you should select "autodetect" -> "japanese" make sure also that you have support for east asian languages. You may need your windows disk. Regional and Language settings [control panel] make sure the bottom check-box is selected, then click ok.

The navbar links for [torrents] and [downloads] now lead to pages where the latest torrent threads and direct downloads can be viewed easily. Still not sure what to put in [news] though, so that's just a dead end (i'd remove the link but then i'd forget about it)

Please keep it on-topic.

OK, Post thanks (given and received) have been recalculated as well, based on the current stats.

Is it broken?

:chinesenewyearf::inlove2::payup::dunno: ...:angrygirl::why2:

A bug affecting many users showed their postcount as much lower or much higher than it really was, so all postcounts have been automagically recalculated and are now based on actual posts. :cool:

I can actually run a script that will restore people's postcount to their exact number of posts, so for most people this will mean a drop in postcount. edit: OK I ran the script. Now everyone is even. Your postcount is your actual postcount. (you can verify it by clicking on your profile/name...

Just a quirk of vBulletin, don't take it personally. Possibly related to the closing off of the recycle bin threads. On the mostpart, even deleting or pruning threads doesn't affect postcount. If anyone has a similar issue, say so here.

OK, the tracker works and is apparently tracking 11 torrents already. Doesn't seem to be affecting the server load (take that how you want) Because I can. And because it took all of 20 seconds to do. If it was hard, I wouldn't do it. :silence: but sometimes i don't know why i bother...such...
