Gobalopper Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 Well not a new layout, I just forgot that it was only showing all categories to me while restricting everyone else to just the Dune Editing files. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I thought the Dune generations videos were for a limited time only so you could conserve space or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted September 17, 2003 Author Share Posted September 17, 2003 Conserve bandwidth, space doesn't really matter as the site is already more then 1GB. And they are old enough now that its unlikely there will be a ton of people downloading them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are old enough now that its unlikely there will be a ton of people downloading them.Is that including archived files that people have posted over the years? What is it without the archived files? (as in the size of the website that is online now) Larger, smaller? aprox is ok. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Right now its 1.8GB but not all files are available for download as some are linked to Westwood instead of our server. I have them here in case WW decides to shutdown their ftp server someday.As for breakdowns I've posted that before but I don't remember where, probably in this thread or the last updates thread.

Gobalopper Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Actually here is a better breakdown:192M dune2k/images (images)1.1G dune2k/downloads (downloads)9.5M dune2k/site_html (html)15M dune2k/public_html (forum code, other misc html)The rest of the files are logs or other misc files that aren't really part of the site.

mechadragon Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I have them here in case WW decides to shutdown their ftp server someday.I have all 3.12 Gigs of their FTP server archived here as well. Do you have all of it or just the Dune related stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 No just Dune, I don't have any need to backup the rest especially on the web server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken124578 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 When you're out of/low on bandwidth you can make the server parse all the pages in a GZIP format, instead of using up 6KB/page, 2KB/page will be used. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 Well the problem with doing that for everything is higher CPU usage. Although I think the forum already gzip's the pages, which is fine because they are small. But we don't really have bandwidth limits.

Timenn Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Anyone noticed that this thread in now the biggest in views?And we have another 600 posts to go to beat the "Lockup Issues! Post here" thread qua posts.Come on Gob, create more breakdowns, and the rest should complain more and more on how bad this site is designed :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Thanks for increasing my PPD limit,gob.Thanks!And on behalf of nav too...heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Wow, The Sequel now has four more pages than the original!Can't wait to see the conclusion of this epic trilogy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I presume when you have 0 posts per day, you are still able to send/recieve IM's. Sad to see Shygirl4 on the list. But if she posted a link that crashes browsers, well then...Also the Staff of FED2k page looks nice.(but the Rules page needs to update Ken's info.)

nemafakei Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I remember when Spoonranger was one of the five or so staff mentioned... hehe, and that wasn't that long ago either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 why did shygirl get zero posts? just curious. i don't know much about it other than it seemed to be one of the best Dune 2000 players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryphon Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 She got that limit because she posted a link that could crash a clients internet browser.The Staff page does look great. . although it seems some one has been looking at other profiles of mine to get my location. . ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Can someone explain this?[attachment archived by Gobalopper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Not really, although I know it was covered before in one of the site updates thread. (doubt anyone really wants to go through them for the answer.) So hopefully someone can post the answer. :)similiar to a guest posting a message. I think they just get an error when clicking on a link that they dont have access to. (and it shows up on the whos online page as what they were trying to do) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 exactly andrew. when a guest clicks on the link, or types in the url, even if it comes up with an error message, it still shows up on whos online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
