Quote; [Stipud] It's only another $5/mo, which I can literally pay for with my bathroom break .

Does that mean you're spending a hour sitting there, or are you doing other things in there that brings cash....

Both. I run a subscriber based webcam in the bathroom... You wouldn't believe how many people pay to watch me poop!

JK I have some standards

LOL, i wouldn't be surprised if there's people out there that pay to watch a grown ass man poop.

there is too ... HERE
I had forgotten about it ..

I did read the welcome thread, but that was ages ago when I got here ...

Link does not work; it says enter a minimum amount of $10,00........ but even with higher amounts I get the same page telling me that I have to enter a valid amount over $10,00.

Too bad, I just happened to have a few grand too much and thought I'd donate it.

Works for me

But yeah, don't all go rush out and donate right away! If it's too expensive with Dreamhost I may still have to find another provider.

I just tried setting up CloudFlare on this site. Hopefully this reduces malicious attacks, and improves page speed even further. The site was already rebooted several times last night due to DDoS...

If it works for you I'm curious howmuch I just donated all together.....

Even though I don't post like I used to, I still visit. I'd be happy to kick in a few bucks to keep my internet home open

Please, no more donations for the time being. I'm still not sure if we will stay with Dreamhost. If not, all that donated money goes bye bye!

After a week of running at 2300mb ram (for free), i've had to cut it down to 300mb. Since the site stays well under that for 99% of the time, that seems to be a good fit. However, there have been enormous, random spikes in CPU/RAM utilization. When these occur, the CPU load increases 500x, and the memory utilization spikes over 1gb. In effect, on a 300mb limit, this brings the site down, and I am forced to reboot it. It's happened twice today already. I don't know what is causing these spikes yet... there is nothing in the server logs that would indicate what is going on. Hopefully I can figure it out before it gets too annoying...

I have 45 days to dispute my donation with Payfoe as of 2/4 , lemme know if.

Ah, I was wondering who the other donor was! Thanks man! I think we are covered for a few months at least

Impossible! I blocked China, Russia and Ukraine from ever reaching the server. I know some PG guys used the site while they were in China, so I wanted to avoid that, but individually blocking the spammers was nearly impossible.

Strangely enough not a single spike in the last 24h. It was happening twice a day before that! WTF. Only after I set the scripts to monitor them... Fucking computers man.

"..they know you're watching now Tom..." ...COWARDS!

Hehe... nobody messes with.....THE STIPUD

I know i'm new here,but thank god i finally found some like minded people.If there is anything i can do with anything to help.Please let me know.

Just updated the phpbb software to the latest version. Let me know if you guys see anything that isn't working.

Also Tapatalk should be fixed now, but keep in mind (because we are on Cloudflare) you will need to update your bookmark to use www.phoenixphorum.com, otherwise you won't be able to log in!

Is it just me or is anyone else getting a lot of "site not found" or cloudflare no cache errors?

It's working for me

Working fine, but screen tends to go up and down once/ twice after opening every new page.

Same for me, sometimes when changing page it says site not found.
Any idea when the tap talk upgrade will be done?

It's done... see my post above! Make sure you add www. to your bookmark. You can just search for Phoenix Phorum again in Tapatalk and it should work.

I have been checking in on my phone and everything works normal here.
