Server and forum outage

[Cannon]

No, we're not looking to move hosts at the moment. The people we are with are pretty good and very cheap for what we get.

If we had a fair bit of money we would rent a second server - either a large VPS or a low end dedicated box and move the forum onto it.

I'm reluctant to use more of our donations unless we really have to. At the moment we have enough money to fund around 7 months of operation and I don't want to use this any faster than necessary.

With lots of money we'd move to dedicated or co-located hosting at a good ddos protected data center specialising in game hosting. This would cost at least 300-400 euro/month. I don't think there is any danger of this happening.

After this outage the server seems to be suffering a bit more from lag.

Could the error that caused the server to crash be causing this lag?

Normal ping: 350ms Fluct: 0ms Loss: 0% Lag: 0%

Current ping: 580ms Fluct: 40ms Loss: 20% Lag: 32%

The ping in game seems normal to me. I get "Ping: 325 ms Fluct: 0ms 0% Loss 0% Lag". This is normal for me.

Also the server statistics appear normal. I think this might be your end.

Ping is normal again, Lag and Loss are still the same though. Is there something I can do to try and fix it? Perhaps there's something under services I can restart?

If this happens again could it be posted on http://www.facebook.com/discoverygc ?

So that we can check whats going on?

Oh and thanks for doing a good job cannon;)

Apologies for the recent outage. Both the server and forum are operating normally again.

No need to apologize. We all get way more than our money's worth.

Thanks for getting things running again.

I suggest twitter for giving out information when the forums are down.
My hosting company does that for example, and also many other, twitter is kinda made for that. (And yes, there is a discovery account already :> )

Naa ... CNN, BBC ... that's the way to inform people:D

But serious now. An email notification might be the better alternative, because EVERYONE needs to have an email account as far as I remember, right?;)
And since the outages are not THAT often, it won't create a flood of mails.
