Buffistas

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I know that was the case on another community I'm active in. We did bite the financial bullet, and are on a dedicated server now.

Was that the one that also got tossed by HR? I remember another community that had to move and got a dedicated. I think they went with Dreamhost.

No, that community rose out of a different kind of immolation-AFAIK, hosting issues were not a problem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We can afford more than $20/month, and it sounds like we'll need it. For the record, we have over $700 in the bank right now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Here's our bandwidth usage:

Right now, you have 1000 MB Storage; 40 GB Bandwidth; 50 MySQL connections. You're allowed to have up to 25 domains, unlimited subdomains, FTP accounts, MySQL databases, mailing lists, autoresponders, e-mail aliases and forwarders.

So far, I think you've been using less than half that bandwidth every month. You're using about 200 MB of storage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We're using 2 subdomains (though we'll need three, because we'll need to run a test site), 1 MySQL database (though we'll need two, see above), 7 e-mail accounts, 12 e-mail forwarders, 10 mailing lists and 4 FTP accounts.

ita, does the test board run off this database or its own?

Cindy - Oct 22, 2003 8:42:24 am PDT #5464 of 10000

Nobody

Did need to say thanks to ita, Kristen, Tom, Rob, and everyone else who's working to save the collective ass of our merry band yet again.

A huge yes, to the above.

Kristen, I hope you know that (on my part, and I suspect the part of a lot of other people who have been but...but-ing this), it's because you and they didn't suspend us, worked with us, and didn't terminate our account, that I'm (we're) but...butting in the first place. It's like an unwanted break-up. The experience has been so different from Host Rockit's talk to the hand attitude.

I can also fully understand why, if everyone else is humming along, IH wouldn't want to tweak on our behalf, and that home-grown code is always going to be suspect.

Thank you for explaining, and for all the head-thunking you've done since we moved.

Different database, Kristen.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I see people saying, "What have they done for us?"

I'm also sorry if I came across as ungrateful. I was seeking understanding, because it doesn't make sense to me, but that's just my ignorance. My issue, I guess.

But if our overloading their server is due to a bug or configuration error at their end, then I don't think it's unreasonable to ask them to fix it.

This was the only point I was trying to make, and I'm terribly sorry if that was offensive in any way.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay. So. Plan B. Have to work on it, yes?
