you'd actually be surprised.

A while back, the server crashed at some point, and I remember we lost quite a lot of data.

The other day I was looking for an old thread for a friend of mine...and I'm like...okay it's not there, and he was like so angry because to him they need to keep it for "records" or something LoL

to him all it is, is text...I tried to tell him it was a bit more complicated...but to him they need to keep all those files lol.

I do think we should maybe....get rid of the people who have never posted...but...I don't remember if they didn't want to do that or not.

Its just the life of a forum. You'll have some that will actively participate, post and socialize in threads and you'll have others who just sign up for the downloads benefits. That is probably why they don't do that idea.

And I believe they mentioned the problem is mainly when they are experiencing heavy traffic and too many users online at once crashes it.

Well March is here and I'm expecting nothing less than Armageddon. This site is going to get raped. I'm sorry.

I wonder if the "too many members online at once" thing is the main reason for the site crashing.

If its true, it feels so much better knowing that these members have such intellectual vocabulary.

I was told deleting inactive users wouldn't make much of a difference.

I don't know how the laws in america are, but in germany you can have your own bank account(on your own name) at every age, I got mine with 11. So that really doesn't work xD Maybe for some parts of the world(are bank accounts for under-18-years-olds really forbidden in america?), but not worldwide.
Well, I'm 14, have a Paypal and WOULD donate something(like 3-5 dollars) <- The last line was only to show, that youths are willing to give some money, too, if it helps, because this problem really get on my nerves!

and deleting old threads would be horrible! I just looked through all 58 pages of downloads today, to see, if i missed something

No its not forbidden, it depends on the laws of each state, but most (not all) state laws require to be atleast 18 or if you are under 18, need to sign with a parent. Some banks allow all ages too, so if you live in the right state and have the right bank, you can have your own bank account under the age. You have to be 18 though for credit card.

It is probably more lenient in Germany because German kids are not as irresponsible as American kids

Laws are a lot more lenient in europe for a lot of things.

Banks here are not willing to take any risks at all...so yeah, depends on the state, depends on the bank you sign with. Of course the banks' rules won't overrule the state laws lol

So anyway...I would still like to know how much a server upgrade would cost.

I have no idea, emiko. It's the business of the administrator and they have expressed that they would like to keep it their own business. That means we just have to smile and accept it and enjoy the use of this site.

As usual

I wouldn't expect them to come out and say it...or to say it to any one else.

However, with certain events happening in other places...and things happening with Ayu, we can only expect the forum to get bigger, and the problem will not go away.

As long as she's aware.

But whatever, AHS isn't going anywhere...and no matter how much the forum changes with it's members, it never really changes, does it. Perhaps that's why it's still here.

Well...good luck to everyone with the messages.

I'm seriously glad it's not just me who gets this BS when they come here. Every time I come to this site, I get the initial hit, then what can be a half hour to forever of "Unavailable". I've been a member for years and this has never been an issue before.

For the past 2 days, I've noticed that members online are about 80-90 throughout the day = smooth traffic!

But the moment the NEXT LEVEL tracks are revealed as ringtones and have the interludes revealed blah blah, the members spring up to 130+ in peak time...

It's like some members have a weird 6th sense that goes

"OMG NEW AYU STUFF IN NEWS SECTION!!!"

And they come online.

HAHAHA.

Ah well, it was worth a shot for us trying to pitch the idea for member contributions.

I do appreciate the admin's generosity in keeping the site as their own responsibilities.

I guess all we can do to help contribute is remembering to make our orders through the forum for webgains. Probably doesn't add up to much, but whatever we can do to help.

Is the CDJapan webgain link broken though? I don't see the webgain tracker like I do with Yesasia

Oh so thats why... And nothing to do... Thats a bit sad. That message hits me everyday. I get it more often then I get logged in to AHS. And if I get logged in I often just get to read one page and then it gets unavaible again. Its hard to even post these days. It just gets worse and worse for everyday it seemes.

But maybe that just my bad luck. >.< But if there is nothing to do, i accept it, I will try to enjoy AHS just like before.
