really? A chatbox/shoutbox loads up a server? I honestly did not know that but I can see how it would create a load on a server. We use one at our gaming site but never see the load it causes on the gaming server.... We host out site, files and other crap on a seperate server box unrelated to and in a differernt state than our gaming server. We are determined to keep them seperate to minimize load on the server box...
Like UR VIP forum we use hidden forums based on the set up of the permissions to have admin sections that we use for our little discussions and private matters we do not wish to share... we even have a forum for all the threads people deleted for whatever reason so we can see them...
U should stop by my gaming site sometime and take a peek.... a lot if very similar to what is going on here yet a lot is different. I always enjoy other forums and (honestly) seeing how they are set up with all thier potential short comings.... If U do let me know, U may have to register and have UR permissions set up....we had to make them very tight as early on we got attacked by a group called the g00ns; they took over our teamspeak, hacked the scripting on our site and hit our server box with a massive denial of service attack then a TCP/IP flood making all the gaming slots look full..... we are pretty sure someone from a different gaming clan paid them to hammer us... That ended when I looked up the owners of thier site...called ones mom in Europe at work and sent the other a present vis USPS that I am sure his parents just loved and probably got him beaten like a red haired step child....
YEah I tend to be evil and a very vengeful vindictive..maybe it has to do with the time I spent in the Springfield area where life is pretty much an "eye for an eye" and the week DO not survive...
I could also set up an IRC server at my place if I knew how. BEcasue of the wifes work we have an incredible fast conmnection for where we are... the only issue would be I would have to hsut it down when she works every other night... her job for PB requires ALLL the bandwidth
UM..btw.... did U know U have UR full names at the bottom of this site? not that it really matters... I am just a privacy freak.
