I posted this earlier, but it appears the changes made the server do a roll back.

The website will not be going down. We transfered to a new server with more resources. There are a couple bugs with it, but they should iron out in the next few days.

This new server is not cheap though, so I ask everyone, please donate (located on the bottom at fcwars.net). I will not be able to handle the bill alone. I hate asking, but I need your guys help with this.

I added a donation button on the Home page to make it easier to find. It is above the twitter feed.

I will be donating $10 a month to the cause from my paycheck, maybe more if I can spare it.

God, it is awesome to see people from the community willing to do this. If we can get a number of people to pitch in small amounts each, then we would be set.

60 people donating $1 a month would be incredible... lol


On a side note, Metkil: does the new server allow the chatbox to come back, or will that still be an issue?

We will have to wait a week or so to see how our resource usage is first.

Also with paypal fees, $1.25 :P

If it is still an issue, I'm sure the Twitter feed is taking up bandwidth. I won't hold anything against you if you need to take it down by mid-month or whatever.

The twitter feed takes a rather low amount of bandwidth, so don't worry about that.

The issue is not and never has been bandwidth. It's the server resources (such as CPU usage and script executions) that were our issue. The twitter feed may be using a chunk of the CPU.

Honestly I don't think alot of people use it. I would take a poll.

Removing your old post about it closing from the front page might be good... just a suggestion.

I think there is an option for the Twitter widget itself to only to "forced" updates, if that would help.

Myth, don't go adding too many things. >_<

This is what caused our issue in the first place. Please refrain from adding anything until I am sure on what room we got to play with.
