Hello everyone,

As many of you saw, we had a major downtime which involved server overusage (CPU/RAM usage). This was caused by our items database using too much resources, so we have temporarily disabled any new updates to the database until we can relocate the scripts somewhere. The programs will still function, but the data will be slightly aged (which we anticipate won't reduce the performance drastically).

Because the subscribers handled the downtime so well, and we kind of screwed up managing our server's resources, we're extending everyone's subscription expiry dates by a week. (Changes have been applied.)

We'll be in the middle of moving some of our services to a second server in the next week or so, so stay tuned to updates.

Thanks SL man. Sounds very fair to the poor subscribers.

[BuckFutter]

Heh, thanks for keeping us updated when the forums were still down. Very generous move for the suscribers too

This.

The entire thing was handled fairly quickly, too. Props for that!

[Tailwind]

Huh. I was wondering what happened.

Glad you guys are working to get things straightened out, and so quickly too!

[bumbar]

Wow. Thank you very much.
Just got back from work and I didn't find out it was down until now.

One minute it was down and the other minute it's back up! Keep up the diligent and vigilant work!

SL was having a quickie with the server hosts

[Brennon]

Nice job and hope all goes smoothly

[Nex2004]

Quick fix congrats plus thats good of you for the subscribers

I must say any and all errors found here on the boards or in the programming have always been updated and fixed relatively quickly typically within 24hrs and for a free time board that doesn't really profit from anything and there is no fiscal gain to be seen (for the most part) that's really amazing to see that much dedication. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the update.

I was sad when Neocodex was down. I'm glad you were able to fix it.

Good luck on the move, I hope it goes well and results in better performance.

Codex rocks:cool: Free week and up and running again. Awesome.. I will admit I am very addict to our forum when it is down it makes me very sad. Thanks to all that keep this site running. The best program and people use Neocodex. Even if you would have not given us the week this site and programs are worth every bit of it. Thanks Again..Will keep my eyes peeled for new updates:neocodex:

That's a business week.

Be grateful you're getting anything at all.

Be grateful you're getting anything at all.

One of the only times I must agree with you.

One of the only times I must agree with you.

Doesn't it get tiresome, being wrong so often?

[jcrdude]

Whenever someone asks "What's wrong with Codex?".... I just reply "probably the item database."

Good to see I was right last night

Thanks for the quick return!

Nah it entitles me to my own points of view

[ShadowLink64]

erm my subscription only added 5 days?

No, it added seven days:

weke: Subscription Duration, 09-December 09 to 16-June 10
16 - 9 = 7

Better to be derivitive and right, than original and wrong
Unless, of course, you go on to be original and right

[AliceFi]

wow i didn't even notice!
anyways, you guys are hosting your own servers? do you have a hosting company or sth?

[Jake]

But, who is it that determines whether something is wrong or right, and would that not simply be their own opinion? (and possibly followed by others)

Not all opinions are equal.
