Title: Server Outages Possible
Post by: SWSF Hoppus on July 30, 2025, 05:33:04 PM

Something is up that we're using a lot of bandwidth, if the site is down at some point in next week just try again later. I'll fix it up as I find time to do so!

Is there any merit for us to move our forum onto a more popular site, like Discord?

Discord does allow for story posts, as well as for instant-chatting, and it might open doors to recruiting more individuals to our small cult of star wars fandom.

The downside might be if we wanted to go back to old school style simming but you probably could do that there as well.

I'm happy to try anything, including continue to host this site (at the same time, as backup, whatever). I've been very lazy on a very old shared hosting plan, I need to move off it onto a real server. It's a time thing.. maybe this coming week I can make time to at least get that ball rolling and have us moved over by end of the summer.

I like it here. Totally understand from a reach perspective, but not a fan of the toxic rage bros that lurk in such places.

Sorry folks, traveling but will migrate the site in the next 10 days to avoid the suspensions. Tldr is we get crawled by ai bots and it consumes our (very tiny) bandwidth on our (very old and cheap) hosting plan. Will get it sorted!
