It seems VO-Gate.com has bit the bandwidth bullet... anyone know how I can get a hold of Lemming, the site's operator?

I guess the site was popular :)

Yah, the vendetta wiki is down. I am not the site's operator, I am just hosted off of some one else's site. I don't know how long it is going to be down but for the time being you can use google's caches of the site.

Hmmm. A bandwidth constraint is not the worst problem a site could have. :-\

A suggestion for ya Lemming: Sign up for google adverts or put a paypal link on the site and enable the VO community to help cover your host's bandwidth costs. My $0.02.

Jebus! Well, if you're using less than around 40 gigs or so of bandwidth, I can host it for you.

LeadFist: He has nothing to do with it. Bug StarFreeze, it's his site. We just share the hosting. :D

Oh it's StarFreeze's website... whoops :-P

Hum...

Anyone know what's happening with this? I would be willing to donate a little money to help buy some more bandwidth.

I haven't been able to get into contact with SF. I've been passively trying to, just by looking over the user list in IRC. I think it will come back next month.

eek! The site is back up... but the wiki was DELETED!!!!!!

awe. that was rude.

That one wasn't an april fools' joke. This mornign, instead of the usual 509 error, I got a 404 error while trying to access the wiki. Now the 509 is back. Maybe SF was playing a joke on us.

Maybe not, how much bandwidth did you guys go through?

I have some real old webspace I think could host this, it currently a half dead *me wishes it would die* website, hehe

But I would like to know what the current wiki bandwidth usage is before I say ya'll can use it.

The only person who can tell us is SF. Nobody knows where he is. :(

perhaps the wiki team should look for a new host?

It appears as though SF has been consumed by WoW:

http://www.vo-gate.com/

I don't remember seeing her around this galaxy.

I can host the Wiki (and provide PHPBB forums), but only if it's using under about 30-40 gigs of bandwidth per month (or if people want to pitch in for a dedicated server). I've already got domains for it, too (www.vowiki.com and www.vo-wiki.com). :-D

Edit: Hmmm. Actually, my plan may allow me 100 gigs of bandwidth (meaning up to 80-90 for VO Wiki). I'll have to call 1&1 sometime and check.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that StarFreeze got into one of his "moods". Hopefully Lemming was diligent in downloading backups of the wiki database. http://www.vo-gate.com/lookatme.jpg and the /mediawiki/ folder was deleted. Damn him.

I don't know StarFreeze so I can't say he got into a mood or not, but it sure seems like it. If Lemming was able to backup the DB I'd be happy to setup something on my webserver to host the wiki. I only have a few customers on it now anyways, just enough to cover the cost of it.
