just been thinking, i don't think i've ever seen less than 20 people online browsing the messageboard here, plus there's the discography, galleries and all the xltvibes and shit like that hosted - the xltronic.com server must be one hell of a busy mofo. By whom are you guys hosted? What is the server load like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
once you log in, unless you log out or quit your browser, while you're online you appear in the "now online" list, whether or not you're interacting with xltronic. |

we're running a linux-based dedicated server = SPEED. loads of more data coming up, so we need the margins. sessions are valid for 15 mins, so there are always ppl dropping out / dropping in. the server is pushing about 200 Gb / month to you guys. |

but I've left this page open all day before and come back to it and never had to re-log in or anything... is it because I have it set to "remember me"? btw, mad props on this being the best forum ever, phob. |
||||||||

but unless you interact with the site your session will be killed and you'll disappear from the online list. as soon as you come back your session become active again. |
||||||||

Phobia: are you 100% sure about that? You're saying that all 53 people online right now are active (have clicked on a link within 15 minutes?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm 100% sure! |

How much you pay for this forum per month !? How much traffic you get ? How many page views ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I pay about $100 / month. I'm not quite updated on the number of hits right now.... but i will check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
page views are insane..... number of unique visitors are about 85000 / month tho... |
||||||||
|
|

Are you using Google Adsense ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this place is great!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes indeed it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not ? I bet you could earn some bucks with this site |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ads suck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mad props on a site well done. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you pay 100$ a month to run this site? do you also make money with it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, the only income are donations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so i'll run this site as long as i can afford it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't talk like that phobes.... you're scarin' us |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, before you close it down (i hope it doesn't come to that ofcourse) start charging us and see how that goes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess that people here donate a lot then ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or throw a big donations drive or something... if that doesn't work, turn the site into a huge interracial midget porn site and laugh your ass off for a week or two. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
big respect for all donations! unfortunately the site would need about 10 new donations each month to get things smooth, but reality is much less than that, perhaps $20 each month in average. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
phob: i run an isp here in au, if you ever need mirrors or such, just sing out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so, you are loosing $80 a month so us dumbass can post?! hum......something isn't right. would an ad pay $80 a month? Put a damn ad here if it does, shit I don't care. Maybe a Warp ad, or something? jeez, don't go bankrupt! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

did I mention I love you? |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should make the premium accounts yearly things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh well, Phob is an umm, non-commerce individual. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know when my next donation is due :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You should make the premium accounts yearly things. well, they are.... premium accounts are valid for one year. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

xf: cool...... that might infact be useful.. let's see what the future wll bring.... |

you could always put up a big ugly unibrowed scarecrow to run off some of the extra bandwidth. ...jokes, jokes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how about changing some things on the website. things like categories of topics and not showing 25 topics on a page but 10 for example. Do you have any statistics where the most of the traffic comes? Is it text, pictures, downloads of the mp3s? I think if you observe what is "wasting" more traffic you could change it into a more user-friendly thing. for example i think it is good when you click another time on a topic you already "read" (or have visited) the php script should notice it and show you only the unread, new text, and a link "read older messages" in order to read the older comments, if you need. All in all you could decline the traffic to 20 % i think, sorry i cannot programm in php (yet) but i think it must be easy to do such things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually the high amount of traffic is not a problem. 200 gb / month is only 50% of our allowed bandwidth transfer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool...i can always post some more :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
giginger: according to our stats your premium account will expire in mid 2006 due to the amount of donation. :) thanks, mate..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can we just give money whenever we want? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
welcome back.... yes, you can..... we will add the donation to your already running period, so it will get extended. let's say you donated $10 on 2003-08-15. meaning your premium account is active until 2004-08-15. but in anytime you can donate for example 10 more bucks and extend your period til 2005-08-15. in fact there are several premium account running out of time as we speak. "our robot" will contact you soon. :) |

I'm expecting a mail soon enough :/ |

|
i did a little snooping and for a second i though xltronic was hosted with the same company as one of my favorite porn sites. i was kinda excited. ...but after a little more investigation i think i was wrong. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
More of you guys should pay......its well worth it so that you can post pictures :) |

porn hosted in washington? |

I've just sent another 20.00 which you should have got. I really don't trust this Paypal shite :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what's the problem then, phob? I mean, is there no solution to pay only for the half bandwidth? Are you on a internet provider, or do you have the computer at home, and made it a server. if the latter, then i think it is no matter of traffic fees. Or do you have ADSL with Traffic volume? the matter with showing only the unread messages of a thread is worth introducing it, though! :D |
