Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0

love single points of failure...like everything is one.

It's actually two really tanky servers (Web and DB) and a cloudflare server in front of that... Keeping a forum of this size running on a budget is very tricky, if it was a company generating this much traffic it'd be looking at >$1k/month in hosting costs alone.

Aren't there like 20 regular users on SAU these days?

How did we manage in the glory days when you would have 10 posts a minute etc.?

[UNR33L]

Run more ads? surely ad revenue and event profit can cover the cost of a decent web server? 

[Odium]

Define Event Profit? SAU doesn't run events?

SAU 2017: CSGO Lan

$20 raffle, - winner gets a Megane RS for a weekend?

[UNR33L]

Don''t we make some money off DECA, broadford days etc? 

Also if traffic is so high that should mean we're getting decent $$$ from ads 

[Odium]

Unless the prize money is $800k or above, not worth my time

When the biggest hipster on SAU wants to eliminate retro threads and the most creative section on the forum
