Temporary Website Closing

**Metkil5685** · 02-28-2011, 10:41 AM

As some of you may know, we recently have had issues with our web host, SiteGround. The forums have had too much of a load on our server. After a week or so of support tickets, cutting back on the forums, and optimizations, we have determined one thing. Our community is just too large for our current hosting plan.

But Metkil, what does this mean?

This means I have to shut down these forums temporarily. Later tonight (expect around 1800 EST) fcwars.net will link to an invisionfree forum for us to use in the down time. These forums will locked from public access (meaning only I will be able to access them). During our downtime, Highcom and myself will determine what we will do in the future. (HighCom Members, I would like to have a discussion tonight if possible. Send me an e-mail at Metkil5685@gmail.com if you will be able to have a conversation tonight.)

There is a glint of hope for these forums though, but it requires me doing the one thing I hate to do. In order for these forums to stay, the website hosting would be updated a $60 a month plan. I personally do not have the funds for this. So I ask you the community, please donate with the fancy little button located at http://fcwars.net. If there are enough donations to keep these forums alive, I will do so with no hesitation.

My apologies,
Metkil5685
Website Administrator

**NOTE**

These forums will go down at 1800 EST. If you have data on these forums that you need, I HIGHLY suggest backing them up with notepad. The total downtime for these forums is unknown at this point in time. Squad leaders, I suggest backing up your squad information. If you are a leader of anything, I suggest backing anything that relates to what you are leading.

How long will they be locked? And I will be able to attend the HC meeting, if their is one.

I already have a few ideas that might help out.

They will be down until a new hosting option has been put into use.

I'll be there for the meeting but as soon as 8pm is when I'm available

I'll be there Met.

Fuck, I hope this is fixed before the machinima.com video goes live. Could lose a lot of potential recruits.

the link FCwars.net will redirect people to a invision free site? Please make it clear to why the site is down so if the video does go live while the site is down(which is most likely) people will not be turned off.

EDIT: I donated all I had in my paypal account(2 bucks lmao) but I'm going to talk to the web admin of another large gaming community and see how much he pays for the site.
