 Posted: Sun May 09, 2010 2:15 am Post subject: Forum was suspended! |
 |
|
This forum was taken down yesterday (Saturday May 8th) by my host because it was causing a "server CPU overload", which they say is a no-no. I have no idea how this happened, since this forum is over three years old, and not as active as it has been at times in the past. So I suspect an attack of some kind, which means that it could happen again. 
My host advised me to contact my web programmer about my php scripts. Huh? I don't have a web programmer, and have no idea what a php script is. Any programmers out there? 
I will try to educate myself. But if you see an "Account Suspended" page again, please be assured that I've paid my bill and it's NOT MY FAULT!! And please come back later because I won't rest until I can get the forum back up and running again. |

oh this is a bad news that the forum will suspend again.
i almost go to the forum everyday, but i only read the new posts (i don't reply).
thank you Bob for such a great help to run the forum, this is our place for Taylor's fans to gather together.
i feel sorry that i can't contribute to the forum because i don't know any computer knowledge.
i hope the forum won't end because we need to keep the forum to exist forever. |

It won't end Ming, don't worry! Hopefully whatever the issue was is resolved now-but if it happens again I'm sure Bob will find a different host server okay

There are lots of hosts out there, I'll just pick another one if I have any more trouble. I own the link, so the URL should stay the same.
Somehow we overloaded the server. At 1:24 in the morning.
I was sleeping.  |

Well that's a relief. I thought Bob had suspended me for three days for making fun of Margo's hair  |

If the polka links didn't get you suspended, I don't think your opinion about Margo's hair will do it either.
I have no problem with people who rub me the wrong way, but if you ever attack Taylor you're eToast. |

Actually, I kind of agree with you. We haven't heard from our little yodeler in almost 3 years.
When she left, so did most of our other young members (except for Martha and Janneke) who used to entertain us with their wit and creativity. Smilies and sparkling graphics were flying everywhere!!  |

The 8th was not a good day. When I saw this screen...
I thought that everyone would think that I hadn't paid my bill.
I complained to my host that they should say "Technical Difficulties" instead, to place blame where it belongs, on the software or security features.
But I don't think they heard me.  |
