A late happy new year to you all.

Bjorn, have you looked into if we can get more bandwidth?

No sane hosting company only offers 2GB bandwidth anymore, heh. It might be time to change.

2 GB? Man, that's brutal.

I think for Rampant Games, our bandwidth is measured in TBs. Though several sites share it, Rampant Games uses the lion's share of the bandwidth.

I think the appeal of the current setup is that it's free :P

Chances are that this was a one time spike, so there's probably no need to worry about it yet. If it happens again, I don't think it'll be too hard to find hosting for it. I've got 10GB of bandwidth that I'm only using a fraction of, which would probably do.

So what accounted for the spike?

Haven't a clue :P Bjorn might be able to fill us in if he happens to pop by.

Once our limit used to be 2 GB, but we have run out of that before and then Aral raised our limit to 3 GB. What happened in December was actually not much of a spike, we've been almost going over 3 GB multiple times.

I've emailed Aral about the issue and fortunately he replied that he would raise the bandwidth again. I don't know yet what our new limit is.

How much are you paying? I'm sure I could find you a dozen better deals with higher availability.

Oh wow finally!
I was going crazy with rpgdx being down... :\
I went camping and was without internet for a few days, and I was hoping that when I got back rpgdx would be back online...and sure enough.

Whew.

Happy belated New Years to everyone! :D

First I disappear, then when I try to un-, the site is down. Now this site is back up and my other site is down.

T3h interweb hates meh.

Anyway, happy new year and all that jazz. Other than that, nothing new to report. Still trying to get Space Invaders running. It's driving me crazy, but I'm making slow progress.

Sorry for the second downtime, but Aral gave us 6 GB per month now! Yay! :-)
