forum upgrade
- Edited
Couldn’t find another thread for it, but what’s been going on with all the outages of the forum over the last couple of days? Something to do with ‘Flarum encountered a boot error’. Did Flares crash the whole place by his presence?
Have others been encountering this issue?
Yep, had it a few times. Blame it on Flares.
Me too. Fucking Flares!
Basically we’ve outgrown the droplet (server) we’re using. It keeps running out of memory. I’ve been happy to pay for the current size droplet as it’s only about 6 quid a month, but if we need to upgrade it’s gonna be more expensive.
The other option is to try and optimse what we have, which is what im trying to do at the moment.
mono-stereo e.g bin off all of Ed’s posts and threads?
$8 per month for a blue check and more server space?
mono-stereo
Don’t mind contributing to keep this place going. You shouldn’t have to pay for it yourself.
Same. Will happily contribute.
I’m sure many of us would be happy to contribute as long as ed isn’t in charge of accounting.
I agree to both contributing and binning off Ed’s crazy threads
Cheers for the offers lads. I’m reckon i can tweek stuff a bit so that we don’t need to upgrade.
See how it goes over the next few days.
Also happy to stump up some dough.
If there’s a Premium Lounge and monogrammed club-wear I’ll stump up even more 
Happy to contribute, £8 for a blue tick ?
3 goes of the ban hammer for a tenner. It’ll put your kids through uni.
mono-stereo Top tabler consortium to spread the cost.
However, we get our names highlighted in the sleeve notes of the first Jaded Clubbers release, which will be Mad Cyril in Beijing (I can provide the brasses to make the trip worthwhile).
Wondering what takes up so much memory when we link to external sources. Does that still do a type of conversion that saves to the server?
Ie. Twitter / YouTube clips etc
