  • Dustloop downtime explanation and future

    Hey guys, I know you guys have been sad and confused why dustloop was down this past week and i'm here to explain the situation:

    WHY
    We were shut down last week due to the fact that we were using a lot of server CPU, causing the server to shut down intermittently until it culminated in a permanent shutdown at the end of last week.
    We've been temporarily moved to a higher tier of service for 2 or 3 days to give me time to fix problems on the site. The higher tier of service is quite expensive ($200 a month!) so I've been looking into how to optimize the site to reduce our server load. I believe I've found the cause and we won't need to be footing such a huge bill.

    WHAT'S NEXT
    After that they'll be checking our server load and assuming we're okay, we'll be moved back down to our original service (with a much more manageable price tag - $40 a month), which means we might go back down again for a bit while that gets changed again.

    I know people want to use the forums to arrange things like a GG side tourney and a BB team tourney for Evo, and I sincerely apologize that the site had to go down now...

      Glad you guys are back. Maybe have a look at these guys: https://www.unlimitedwebhosting.co.uk/
      Obviously my site isn't using as much shiz as DL but I'm paying about £3.50 a month for unlimited storage space and bandwidth.

      (I don't work for them, figured it was worth a look is all)

      They can use the BB forum on SRK while DL is down

      Maybe it might be wise to ask for donations or something to keep the higher tiered plan for just this month or so. It would just be nice for DL to be up if it gets flooded by new people who've been exposed to it at EVO.
