I’m baaAAAaaack! Furthermore, I am done with my email and looking through hundreds of entries on my flist since I left. You have all been such bu-sy. lit-tle. bees.!!

Immeritus, is a slightly separate matter. I do not think that I will catch up on all the new posts, which honestly, I am ok with. I don’t usually post in that many discussions, so I will simply peruse those that arouse my interest. I have to hand it to you girls, you have taken care of Immeritus very nicely. *wipes tear* I am so proud! heh. No, but I am, and I am happy to think that should I ever have to leave again, things would run just as smoothly as this well-oiled machine did this time around. I missed it though! I really did, not being there for the initial onslaught of almost 20,000 hits that weekend. Speaking of hits…. I got an email from Lunarpages, our host. At first, I thought it was about bandwidth, and I find out today, that it has nothing to do with that. That we actually have plenty left. It has to do with php usage. That we are using up 30% of the cpu on their server, and that that is not cool. Why not? Because it is shared hosting, and there are more than three people on each server, which would make it unfair to the others if we are using more resources. So the ‘tech’ that I spoke to, who wasn’t really a tech told me to update to the newest version of Dragonfly, tell them I did it in the support ticket, and then ask for the current CPU usage. If it hasn’t dropped, then we will need to go to dedicated hosting  – which is $99 per month.

So I will be off to update the software. I don’t think that will do much. I also deleted the old forums in the /boards directory because they were outdated, and there was a security flaw in the code that made lunarpages block the entire thing anyway. Hopefully with the combination, our cpu usage will drop enough to make it so that we qualify for shared hosting. *moresighs*

Changing the subject, I know that a lot of wonderful people from our site have not taken to this new blood at Immeritus. I can only kind of smirk at that because I know that it is annoying to have so many new people running around like chickens with their heads cut off and keyboards in their hands, but really, you must remember that this isn’t the first time it has happened to Immeritus. it isn’t the last. And always, we have come out of it alive, and shining with great new members – the diamonds in the rough. So hold on tight kiddos (yes, I know some of you are older than me, but so what? I don’t see ages online unless you flaunt it in my face), it’s all gonna be alright.

I will have a proper Vegas recap next time. Right now, I have software updates to do. Ciao!
