Fiesta Fan Too Popular
 

As a lot of you may have noticed, Fiesta Fan was down for several hours today for "excessive load". From the email: "While we do limit each account to no more than 25% of a system's CPU in our terms of service, we do not actively disable accounts until they greatly exceed that number, which is what happened in this case."

I guess the site needs to move to a new server once more.

=D Thanks for bringing FiestaFan back up~

Well we were flooded by new lurkers coz Fiesta's Official forum is down...

Is there anything we can do to help? I mean, can you move it to a server that lets people make "donations" for extra services like more PMs or something? Then people can make donations to help pay for the site and they get extra benefits out of the forum.
I saw this on Toontowncentral.com, it was not very expensive, so a lot of peopel were willing to pay a small amount of money for more PM space and other stuff.
Just a suggestion. And YES, thank you for bringing it back up!!!!!!

All I had to do was send an email. It would have been back up sooner, but I was sleeping.

The official forums are back up, and this site has only been back up for 30 minutes and we've already got 92 users on. The site might go down again.

I've got a VPS (virtual private server) I'm going to move the site too. Donations might not be a bad idea.

What is the maximum number of users this site can have on it at one time, I wonder?

There were 201 user on the site when we got shut down last time.

Hm... is there a way to deny people access if the site has too many people on it? So it doesn't crash *server-knowledge retarded*

I was thinking the same thing. But, what if it lets "guests" on and not actual members. I wonder if that could be set up to deny access to people, if it could be set up to only deny access to "guests". But, then again, that is unfair to the guests.

its my fault. i was checking fiesta fan last night and the servers just cant handle how awesome i am.

Well, I turned off searching for now, that takes a lot of CPU power.

I could make it so guests can't see the forums, but I don't want to do that if it can be avoided.
