Tomorrow Hyperguy.net comes back up again!
Yippee!
Man, I'm so excited! I've been waiting since it went down to start working on it again and tomorrow I'll finally be able to! I've been doing all sorts of things since it went down too, like learning flash, working on the new forum template, preparing updates, and other things like that.
One thing's for sure, this'll be the last time the site'll go down. I'm sick of the site going down, and has already upgraded my bandwidth a number of times, but to no avail. The heart of the problem lies in the site's gallery. While nice at first, it's been getting rather high maintainance these past couple of months, especially with the addition of gifs to the gallery.
Well, according to my latest webstats, which I managed to ftp download from the site's webstats directory(for some reason I can still use FTP even when the site's out of bandwidth), 50% of all bandwidth used last month came from gif images. That's ludicrous. I mean, I know we've been really popular recently, what with all of the suprise visits from Hong Kong and Australia and all, but we're using up more bandwidth on just some silly gif gallery than we have for the rest of the site.
So, next month, I'm going to take the gif gallery down. Maybe some people will piss and moan or curse, but whatever, I'd rather be able to work on my website and post on the forums than continue to use bandwidth I don't have for serving gifs that people could just look up on their own anyway.
"BUt hairperguy, i dont noe how 2 uze teh internet!" Yeah, me neither. But then again, that's also why we have a Viper forum for helping people find torrents and downloads and stuff. It's mainly used for the discussion of Viper, but really, a good bit of posts are just requests asking for Viper stuffs. That's cool and all, but...
Yeah, I think I'm going to take all of the requests and lump them all into one giant requests thread when the forum comes back up again. That way we can have the convenience of ignoring them all at once. I mean, I don't mind answering requests and helping out every now and then, but I don't exactly have internet access anymore either. If I were connected I'd jump on there and make a Viper Omega torrent with all gifs and games and seed for a month, but seeing as how I can only browse the internet at school or the library now that ain't happening.
In other news, Soul Calibur 3 needs to hurry up and show up at my local game shop Rhino Video Games so Victor can hurry up and purchase a copy and let me copy it to my hard drive. I know that's worded a little weird, and may sound a little underhanded, but think of it this way: Me and Victor have been friends since kindergarten and are practically brothers. Anytime he's ever needed anything I've been there for him, and since he's going to be owning the game I don't think it's too big of a deal if he lets me get a copy of it too so that we can have copies and practice on our own time so we'll be able to have top-tier Soul Calibur 3 matches. Yeah.
Heihachi probably didn't make it into Soul Calibur 3 as a secret character, which is a shame because he's a fucking powerhouse combo monster that snacks through lifebars and can demon uppercut through a 30 lb axe and keep on trucking. Gawd, Heihachi rocked house in SC2. Oh well, at least they didn't bring back Link...
If I'm lucky I'll be able to completely finish the new template tonight before the site comes back up. If only. =)
Oh yeah, Halloween and shit nergo. :0
