Title: Random Timeouts
Post by: Aldo on December 14, 2011, 10:53:21 pm: Does anybody else get the Random timeouts from anything Argonath related
(Where all Argonath/Paruni servers and websites stop working)

This only happens for the stuff hosted in Germany, the US based hosted sites like http://adf.argonathrpg.com/ (http://adf.argonathrpg.com/) still work but everything else stops responding

Post by: SugarD on December 21, 2011, 06:52:32 pm: I've spoken with Gandalf about this a few times. It's issues between the hosting services, unknown issues, and constant activity or updates wearing the server down during certain hours. Because the community is donation/free-based, the equipment used is only what the Server Owners themselves can afford. The only way we can fix this is by helping them out more. Unfortunately, though, with a good portion of this community being underage, we must rely on clicking on advertisements to make any sort of revenue that doesn't come from the users themselves.

Post by: Julio. on December 21, 2011, 07:11:34 pm: Cannot we just get adverts which are not pay per click, but rather, pay per month?

I wouldn't mind seeing a couple more adverts, it's a trade-off for being able to play here.

Pay per month advertisements cost a certain amount to display in the first place. Gandalf had some ideas regarding it, but it's still a work-in-progress thing.

Agreed. Don't get Argo banned from using the ads.
