Downtime..

[Jin]

Too much to read but I will address the main issues that caught my attention.

1) Invoices and reminders were filed away automatically because I receive about 300+ emails every day regarding Habbox whether its bills, legal reminders, financial reminders, promotional, reports, monitoring etc. The monthlies such as invoices are filed away into a folder automatically, unfortunately so was the reminder notice.

2) It's all good and fair to say get another person but there is a matter of trust and security, I can't afford to pay someone to look after the servers and I can't just accept a willing volunteer. Any of you computer geeks who have a brain cell will realise I would be giving out root access and in this case access to our finances something which I am never going to be willing to do especially from the habbo community.

The major risk would be that all of our websites could be deleted, member information stolen and all the backups deleted along with it. This would mean we would have to roll back all the sites from about 2 months ago and it would take us a week to restore.

Historically I have used volunteers from University which work great until the summer holidays.

Down for about 10 minutes just then.

edit; for some reason I said 10 minutes (?!), when infact scottish's last message was an hour ago so for about an hour.

2013? TIME TRAVEL

In all seriousness, any real reason for more and more downtime?

Jin said it wouldn't happen again for the payments issue, not that it wouldn't go down for any other reasons to actually do with the server. Jin thinks it might be something messing up with the MySql, but can't confirm that at this moment in time.

As an experiment to investigate habbox uptime I have registered to a website uptime service on a minute interval. You can see the habbox uptime since 8/9/11 here:

OMG it doesn't work, fix it please cos it would be quite interesting!!

I have set up what should be a more representative check on my premium Pingdom account. It checks http://www.habboxforum.com/forum.php for the string id="vbulletin_html" every minute.

Public report is here http://stats.pingdom.com/0rmh1vp1dnyh/410394 and I will put an image in my signature soon when it has enough data to generate.
