I notice a few times where I come to the site and the page doesn’t load (especially in the afternoon). It has always resolves itself after about a minute or two, but I can see where folks might find it a bit annoying.
I checked with my provider and it appears to be a load issue on the server. They suggest I purchase their dedicated server service (of course they do, right?) – for only ‘way more $$$ than I can shake a stick at’.
I’m thinking I’ll have this issue no matter where I go, and I actually like the provider so far for other reasons – but do folks have any recommendations for other providers? Just curious more than anything right now though…
BZ
-
Well Berka... I can get you hooked up with Walt who does all my hosting... Perhaps I can add it to my already big list for minimal additional costs... hmmm let me know
-
Let me talk with you about this on the phone to see what we might be able to do with it...
BZ
-
... And we're back!
After being down for three days following a major upgrade/crash of my service provider >:(
BZ
-
Knock on Wood... After a server upgrade on my provider's side, things seem to be pretty stable around here again :)
BZ
-
We have discovered a problem with folks not getting an Activation Link for their Registration. I'm looking into it now, but so far am stumped.
I'll be activating the most recent accounts manually, so if you have been waiting, sorry for the delay :-[
BZ
-
Still working on the email problem...
BZ
-
Yeah! I do believe I have fixed it ;D
BZ
-
Not that it's really a problem - just odd - but Thayan... How the heck did you manage to log on twice? Two of you are showing up in the who's online section of the index :D
BZ
-
A. Thats my secret and
B. I am just that damn good...:)
-
We just got our first blatantly SPAM post, which I deleted along with the offending member account.
If you spot any, please bring it to our attention and we will remove it immediately - thanks 8)
BZ
-
Another Spammer Account deleted today - to which I say don't even waste our time :P
BZ
-
We’re not buying the Spam.
If you guys really are the radical Edwards you propose to be, go hack a site worth your while; like this one (https://www.cia.gov/).
BZ

Go get them honey! >:(
-
We have again discovered a problem with folks not getting an Activation Link for their Registration. I'm looking into it now...
Until it is resolved, I'll be activating the most recent accounts manually, so if you have been waiting, sorry for the delay :-[
BZ
-
Well, it's working again :)
(Though I really don't know what caused the problem in the first place ???)
BZ
-
Removed a couble of Spider Bot Spam Accounts today - we need to get some more live folks up in here ;)
BZ
-
Had a little downtime today due to a server problem with the provider, but now we're back up and appearently on a new and improved server.

I spoke too soon, but at least they are keeping me informed. There was a major server crash and it is still going to be another day befor things are stable again. Right now, we have up and down access.
BZ
-
Also glad to see our avatars and pepsi cans came back - they blinked out for a while yesterday during the server restoration :P
BZ
-
I noticed that my Avatar folder somehow got renamed 'Forum' during a sever restore. That caused some avatars to blank out, but I beleive I have fixed it now. Let me know if you find any broken pics or links - thanks 8)
BZ
-
I have been moving some topics around and replacing them with cleaned up versions (Flaws and Edges for example) - if you happen to notice any broken links due to the moves, please let me know, thanks :)

Had a little gown time this morning, due to server mintainance on my provider's side. Should be good to go now :)

It's cool. It's not like I was checking the site every five minutes to see if it was up.

OH, MY! Those are pretty darn funny ;D

By the way, I have a problem to report.
It seems folks around here ...
Are thread-jacking our Problem Reporting thread ...
For shame!
;)
BZ

KUDOS to Nestor! You win the gold star for those videos, hysterical!!!! ;D
-
Small hiccup today with the server this evening, but it was resolved pretty fast.
BZ
-
I am just now able to get back onto the site, due to a hard disk failure on our server. It is almost completely recovered now. We have been pretty stable up to the last week or so, and I'm hoping that the hard drive was the issue all along.
BZ
-
SHEESH!!! Finally back online after four days being down :P
Sorry about that folks - the server rebuild they did in January caused a major disater when a routine upgrade was installed (I guess someone missed something...) and it didn't take - nor back out afterwards. The entire sever had to be rebuilt from backups of the hundreds of sites (including ours) that resided on it.
Hopefully they got their act together now and we can enjoy some stability around here again.

Problems Activating Accounts?
Are folks having problems activating their user accounts? I've noticed a few that have registered but not activated - are they not receiving an activation email?
If you have had any problems with it, please let me know - thanks :)
BZ
-
I see that account activation works just fine... as demonstrated by some new spammer accounts ::)
Double Tap the Spammers >:(
BZ
-
I've noticed lots of spambot activity lately, but am watching it closely to keep our forum clean and shiny :)
BZ
-
Spit shined and everything ;)
-
I wonder what the problem was with the avatars the other day? The avatars were nothing but a square with an X in it. Hows come it did that? ???
Something else happened when I was posting. BZ do you remember what I said the problem was? I can't recall the exact situation but I know it had to do with posting problems. It was bizarre though. ???
-
Not sure about the avatars, as it resolved itself :-\
BZ
-
Anyone else getting randomly logged off when they change pages?
BZ
-
The Spambots are really out in force the last month or so - we get up to three spam accounts each day. Thanks to all those who are spotting the dirty rats and reporting so we can keep our site clean :)
BZ
-
Firk Ding Blasted Spammers! >:( >:( >:(
I've culled eleven accounts today - time for some new security around here...
BZ
-
I'd Say! Blasted Spammers!!!! >:(
-
After another 20 or so spam accounts, I am forced to make all Membership Activations require Admin approval. This may cause up to a 12 hour delay on registrations, for which I apologize in advance.
BZ
-
The longer the site exists, the more spambots you'll get.
I have to delete like 40 a day on my forums because it's been around for 4 years. Even if it doesn't get much public traffic, the spambots have found it..
-
The Con on The Cob guys had to go from a forum to a Facebook page because during the down time between cons, the forum got spammed with over 20,000 (no joke!) sex pill posts.
(boner medicine) snicker!

I spent a hour or two restoring the Comlink after it was hacked along with some other sites of mine (the hacker must be so proud of getting one over on our Gaming website - those fat cat gamers - this will show them!) :P
You dumb asshats ::)
Anyway - if you notice anything odd (or red X's where icons should be) let me know, thanks.
BZ

Found one - the Delete button is broken in the Bebop and Default Themes... Fixing as soon as I can get to it.

I've got a problem with my home PC, where I can't log onto the site - it's a cookie issue... :P
Not sure how to fix it yet, but thank goodness it's my PC and not the site :)
Not sure how active I'll be in the next day or so as I try to figure it out - none of the simple fixes are working >:(
BZ

Ug! Still working on it...
BZ

I can get in now - what a pain in the arse that was :P

New computer in the works!!! This ancient artifact is about to go down in HISTORY!!!!! ;D

OK, I'm going to attempt to install the dice roller mod on the forum - either tonight or tomorrow... (So sorry in advance if you get kicked out when I get things going). Hopefully it will work without a hitch.

Check out our Dice Roller HERE (http://www.bountyheadbebop.com/forum/index.php?topic=304.msg5515#msg5515)

I'm going to install a new update and then re-install the dice roller today (as updates always step on the extra stuff you have). I plan on doing this probably later tonight after 10:00pm, eastern time...

Due to the increased interest in our site generated by the conventions, I am setting the registration back to member activated. This means that folks won't have to wait for me to activate their accounts, but also that we'll get a couple of spam accounts each day as well. I'll be deleting these as I see them, but let me know if you see one posting garbage on our boards.
Thanks for your help :)

Well, I'm turning off the self activation - too much of a headache!
Folks that are real will have to wait up to a day for me to activate their accounts, but at least we'll get a rest from all the spam :P
BZ
-
I have added this to the top of the Account Registration Agreement:
ATTENTION REAL PEOPLE…
DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS VOLUME OF SPAM ACCOUNTS WE GET ON A DAILY BASIS, YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE MISSED (OR INADVERTENTLY DELETED) AMONG THE REST, AS YOU AWAIT ACTIVATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT. TO AVOID THIS AND EXPEDITE YOUR ACCOUNT ACTIVATION – PLEASE EMAIL Admin@BountyHeadBebop.com WITH “Gamer” IN THE SUBJECT LINE AND WE’LL GET YOU GOING ASAP. NOTE THAT THIS STEP IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR ACCOUNT ACTIVATION, BUT WILL ENSURE YOUR ACCOUNT IS NOT ACCIDENTLY LOST AMONG THE SPAM.
...
BZ
-
Lots of spam to slog through this week - sorry if I accidently delete a real person's account request during the clean up :-[
BZ
-
The spam is non-stop - I'm deleting fifty or more a day and almost 200 per weekend - I'm not sure how to deal with it :P
BZ
-
Spammers suck!!!!!! :P
-
Not really a technical problem, but I'm under the weather and checking in each day here, but having a hard time mustering up energy to actually post... :P

Know the feeling very well. Feeling under the weather myself, and we had to put the family cat to sleep yesterday. Double :P

Running the mod now - sorry if you get kicked off the site momentarily...
-
OK - it seems to be working - now only time will tell.
I've re-enabled Membership Registration - crossing fingers ;D
-
It looks like our anti spam membership software is working well, and as we had a real person sign up after it was installed, it doesn't seem to be blocking real folks.
As such, I have set the member registration to automatically send an activation link to anyone that signs up (without me delaying it, by having to approve it first). We'll see how this goes for a while (let me know if anyone sees a spammer inatvertantly getting in and I'll zap it ASAP) :)

As some have noticed, there is a problem with the Forum Search Feature.
Late tonight (EST) or early tomorrow morning, I will take a stab at fixing it. This means that anyone on at the time may get booted off, so I just want everyone to be aware of it. :)
-
No luck fixing search so far... :P

I think you are right, it's the way I have file Read/Write permissions set on the server level... All I need to do is figure out which file it's trying to write to when you do a search... :P

'PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0301CEF2'

My simple knowledge of programming (Read: lol whut?) has lead me to look up the answer. This was the best I could do: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3231571/php-has-encountered-an-access-violation-at-77fcaff8

Well, i found something.
The latest posts now showing correctly what the latest post is for example On draks game i see that a new post is there but when i look at who posted and in what thread it says that i posted in the general ooc. When it was in someones OOC thread.

That's more of an issue due to the use of multiple child boards within child boards, which will greatly limit the visibility of the posts you're looking for unless you are specifically looking at the child board thread the post originated from. My section has 3 child boards with childboards (Mage ascension, Gameplay, Sidequests) which makes updates harder to spot and impossible for the stats at the bottom to detect.

I may attempt an Upgrade of SMF to the newest version of it this weekend. If I do, I hopefully won't tank the entire site haha!

Every once in a while, I get a few Sales Accounts, where the guy's Profile and Sig is nothing but a link to some Product (Solar Panels usually) and they make a subtle post to try sneaking it in.
This particular guy from India has been doing it off and on for years. He's subtle enough about it though, that I haven't bothered to ban the IP address. Beside, its Solar Panels, not Viagra, so ...

Sorry for the Down Time Folks!
Our Service Provider had some issues renewing my Domain Names on time, and allowed 2 of them (including BHB) to expire on me.
Fortunately they were able to manually renew them for me (before they were pounced on by others)!
-
Ever since the server issues the other day, the site has been slow/sluggish like it is bogged down. But today has been the worst yet.
Took 5 minutes to log in and each thread is taking 30 seconds minimum to load. MN took over 2 minutes to open the OOC.
There is a chance its my connection, but this is the only site I've had issues with

I dont have any issues whatsoever right now, but ive had some issues with slow loading here too. Not for a while though.
-
In an unrelated event to the Domain Name Expiring, my service providers had a server crash yesterday and had to rebuild it. It's been a rough week for them I guess.
Hopefully it will clear up for you soon. Weird thing is that I'm right on the border of Ohio and haven't had any problems like you have.
-
Doesnt seem to happen very often though (for me atleast.)
-
Yeah, As much as it is a complete pain in the rear when it happens, my service providers have been pretty stable over the years.

then logging in crashed my browser
then I sat here and hit reload for 15 minutes trying to get the page to load
then I got a bad request error, which in turn caused my browser to crash again...

Hmm... For whatever reason - GMAIL accounts automatically block emails from BHB - that's why Kwism & Sethaniel didn't get Activation Emails...
And why Aoen & Forge don't get message notifications :P

Nah, my hotmail at first put them in Junk too, luckily I thought of that and found them, and labeled them as 'safe'.
-
In the case of Kwism & Sethaniel at least - the Notification Email was rejected by GMAIL and never even got into their spam box.

True, but this is a problem that coincides with the Domain Name renewal nonsense and appears to have started then...

here's a new one.
When I hit "reply" to add a new post to a topic. It goes straight to modify and I have to delete whatever the previous post was... It just had happened when I was posting in my Holdout thread...

Window and post loading takes significantly longer since the update, I used to click post or click a link and 9 times out of 10 it would be loaded in under 2 seconds, now it often sits for several seconds before anything happens, occasionally times out. Its not my net cos I have other tabs open (I ALWAYS have several tabs running) and tey all run normally.

Same thing here

Yeah i have that problem too. In fact, it just happend when i pressed reply.

the site is incredibly more android hateful.
Kindle and phone (primary means of accessing the site) just crash after crash... :/

I thought it was just my wifi. Yeah, posts have timed out more than once for me, too.

Not really a problem - but doing a backup, so you may get kicked off a few minutes...

And Done!

The site was down a bit, due to a firewall upgrade on the provider side that worked a little too well haha!
The issue has been resolved, thankfully.
-
I must've been asleep when that happened.
-
Everything is really weird looking.
There's blue rounded rectangles scattered randomly through the forum threads.
Tabs have been replaced by rows of grenades, or there's ten thousand tabs instead of like, six.
Everything seems to be working, it's just difficult to read.
-
That's weird. Things look normal here - wondering if it's your browser?
-
Prolly.
-
Anyone else notice BHB being real slow today?
-
For whatever flipping reason (and it very well maybe user error) my outbox isnt saving anything im telling it to.
(the copy to sent box tool)

Do you check the box when you send a pm?

Your Profile defaults to the 'Save Copy to Outbox' box being checked. If you uncheck it, then simply user error.
If it is not checked to begin with, then you may have de-selected it in your Profile (just go in and turn it back on again).

The Service Provided had an Issue earlier today and got things back up about 3 hours ago. Should completely resolve for you within 12 hours. Let me know tomorrow, if you are still having trouble.

Hmm... this is... odd?
The colors of the topic icon key at the bottom of the pages look a little off. Anyone else think it's a little unusual somehow today?

That's a first haha! ;)
Now it's back to normal for me today. Go figure. ::)

That's a new reaction. Guess you mods are getting stricter now.

It should depend on the context. (Though I didn't see the post in question.)
I don't foresee any real change in the Moderation level here on BHB - at least Moderator initiated. A few posts removed here-or-there, once in a great while, does not an Iron Handed Regime make.
At least I hope it doesn't feel that way.

Oh. I've never noticed posts that were rude to me (which given that information makes sense).
... Now I kinda wanna know whose been talkin shit about me.

Means I can't call people dumbass anymore. Shame, cause I really like that insult.
-
Really just depends on the context. :)

Well, sure, but that only helps if I can tell what the limit is. I misread the severity of what I said pretty hard, so it's better if I just not.

Malk has been dogging you like a motherFarker for years now.

Morgan a little too

Morgan I kind of expected to an extent. No idea Malk even disliked me though.

How mysterious.

Same, you're not going crazy and you're not alone!
Also, Berka is aware.
-
There has been a DDoS attack on the Host server. It is being blocked/cleaned up but it will take a few days.
-
Yep, and before anyone might point any fingers, It's not directed at BHB specifically. I blame China.
-
The slowdown issue has been traced to the database connection itself. If it is not resolved soon, I will try some cleanup here on BHB Wednesday-ish, which will mean putting BHB into Maintenance mode for an hour or two.
If I do, I'll likely try it early morning.

I don't mind it being slow. What I mind is spending 10 minutes trying to post something, then accidentally closing the tab to find it never posted in the end.
-_-
EDIT: And of course this post is made without issue.

-
Yeah, I got hammered with that in out Disciples game (Aman's Update). Started having everything copied to the clipboard before posting it.
-
Minor glitch, don't know if I've missed any incoming messages because of it or not.
My messages keeps saying I have 1 message, but when I go to read it, there's no new reply.
Haven't got any incoming messages since the bug occurred, though the people I've sent messages to since have been online. So either everyone hates me or the bug is messing with it.
-
Yeah, that happened to me once during this current issue. All it takes is a new PM to reset that phantom number. I'll PM you to fix it.
-
Everyone one hates you PlayA
-
Everybody? Not just Sir Dreamkiller?
... Does... does # @coins hate me too?
-
Only if you make fun of his hat.
-
So, BHB works fine for me at home and (currently) in a cafe... and times out every time when I'm at work. Are there still unresolved issues, or is this on my side somehow?
-
I think we may be dealing with a United States wide internet problem that is being resolved slowly by the various ISPs.
BHB has been back to normal (for me anyway) since early yesterday, hopefully it keeps getting better for everyone.
If you still have problems at work in a day or so, let me know.
-
Part of our recent problem with BHB, turns out to be that we went and exceeded out database size limitation. As such, I had to purge the site of quite a bit to get things back to under 90% of the limitation.
Hopefully, this will mitigate the recent slowness issues, but I will be continuing to monitor that situation.
I am weighing the pros and cons of moving to another host provider, but really want to avoid that for as long as possible.
In the meantime, I will need everyone to actually prune their Private Messages - or eventually, I will be forced to flush them as well (but in that case, I won't know what to keep or remove), so best everyone takes responsibility for that themselves.
-
Well, that's several thousand PMs gone!
EDIT: Woah, my posts (and yours!) dropped quite a bit too, what exactly did you delete?
-
50,000 posts.
-
Also changed the User's Online from showing past 12 hours to showing only past hour. It removes a lot of overhead from the forum that way.
-
Did you get rid of the whole CYS discussion thread?
-
I killed all of my pms. D:
-

Yes, that was one of the first things to go, due to its size.
-

Yeah, me too. I had 19 pages of them and hadn't missed them since 2008, so poof!
-
Ok I purged my PMS, down to less than a page. Also forgot to do it carefully so lost everything lol no idea if there were ones I wanted to keep...
Ah well
-

I actually like you. I also like Aman, and most of the users here.

Have email notifications for new posts in threads you've posted in been disabled? I haven't gotten an email in a while.

Not that I am aware of. If you are having problems, it might be worth trying to turn notifications off in your profile, save, then go back in and turn them back on and re-save.

There has been some issues today at the host provider level. Hopefully it will be resolved soon,but it has kept me out most of the day. :(
-
Ooh, that rotten PhotoBucket! >:(
They are cutting off all free 3rd party hosting and demanding $40 / month for your pic links to continue working. This means over a decade of my web postings will now have stupid red X's where pics should be. This includes legendary forum posts such as the Great CYS Mustache War and a bunch of our games, both here and on CYS.
I'll be moving some of my pics over to BHB for hosting, so I can go around repairing the most grievous damage.
A pox on PhotoBucket I say!
-
Noooooo
-
That's incredibly lame. A pox on them indeed.
-
Man, what is it with the site being down semi-regularly this last month?
-
Yup, has been having issues
-
Yeah it feels like it goes down once or twice a week
-
Darn, our Database has ballooned to 105% again.
I'll have to purge it somehow... Maybe remove all PMs from old members who haven't been on in years?
-
Well, a little pruning of old members who never posted brought us back down to 85% - so, YEAH TEAM! GO US! ;D
-
Man that feels really excessive, considering everything you've already pruned. Has the database also been shrinking or what?
-
No, still the same limit.
-
I got 12 pages of messages, i'll delete them when i get to a computer. :)
-
That will probably help a little haha! :D
-
Someone has hacked spam urls into a few quoted messages. Be on the lookout.
