    Around midnight May 17, Amaz0ns' webhost changed the way memory is managed on the server, and throughout the following 23 hours the site kept crashing.  I have removed  several less-frequently-used site features and also stripped out a lot of inactive modules and components.  It's my hope this will reduce memory consumption to the point where the site won't be crashing.  Cross your fingers.

    Well, it's a bit of a relief… I thought my hosting Powers That Be had finally gotten around to "purifying" the web of this site.

    But nope… they're still sticking with politically wayward stuff.  :-

    Glad we're back online now.

    We're not out of the woods yet – the site crashed again during the night.  It looks like it runs for two or three hours at a stretch now, and then crashes.  It might be manageable.  What I'll do in the meantime is move Shulkie and Brawna to a new webhost, and hope that the slice Amaz0ns is on will suffice if that's the only site on it.

    I would hate to move Amaz0ns again – the workload involved would be significant because the site has so many third party and modified components.

    I'm disappointed for you, Lingster, but glad it's not my provider.  Thanks for the update. 🙂

    This has really been a pain in the ass.  I'm in the process of moving the other sites to eApps, where I have been putting most of my clients and non-musclegirl-related sites the last few months, but while eApps offers great memory options, their bandwidth options are inferior to PowerVPS, where Amaz0ns is currently hosted.

    Amaz0ns is consuming about 200 gigabytes of bandwidth per month, which is more than twice the bandwidth allowed under eApps $80/month plan.  So we'll see what happens.  (eApps memory allocation is three times the one we have with PowerVPS, though.)

    Mmngh.  So that's where http://brawna.org went.

    Sorry you're having trouble.  But it's cool… no major earth-shattering writings immediately here.  Yet.

    Ah, so it's down. I was worried I was having DNS problems again.  😉

    Damn, I knew I shouldn't have posted that story installment – its a matter of power couples incompatibility with the laws of internet physics.

    I meant physiques!

    Oh bother, you know what I mean, boss.

    Really sorry this is happening – makes one want to grow and crush something or other.

    Answers my question, too. I noticed the site wasn't responding, and came here to post a thread about it. I'm glad I checked this thread first.
