Title: EHOL is back!
Post by: Lord God Jinnai on April 11, 2004, 10:18:51 pm
Whoo hoo!

Let us all celebrate this wonderful event by beating Makoto to within an inch of his life, then hurling him off a fifty-story building.

Well done, though, EHOL staff. Your dedication to this site truly is awe-inspiring.

Maybe we can contact AIC and talk them into getting you guys a paycheck. I mean, you do run the best El-Hazard site on the net.

Thanks.   I hope it stays put now.  :P

LGJ, could you kindly go to HasWeb and find whatever idiot deleted our DNS records (which caused the main part of the outage) and ... destroy them?

Admin Aric of Hasweb: "Hmm... your DNS zone was MIA. Don't know why. I recreated it."

With all due respect to LGJ, anyone who comes between us and EHOL goodness deserves to face something a bit more terrifying-- like this! (http://www.projectbag.com/el_hazard/pics/ifurita12.jpg)

Do you pay for a server, Or do you have your own that you are running all this stuff. I saw DNS2GO during the downtime when i tried to reach this site so I was just curious if it was your own server.

I USED to run it on my own.  But it grew so large and contains so much media that I was simply unable to continue doing it that way.  But to be honest, I'm not quite sure how DNS2Go got mixed up in it... well, I mean, "el-hazardonline.net" was still tied to DNS2Go and was supposed to just put up a default redirector page to tell everyone to use el-hazardonline-dl2.net when the transition from my server to a paid server happened in the first place.  See, first el-hazardonline-dl2.net was just used for media hosting; the books, MP3s, and such.  Then when HasWeb hadn't let me down for a good amount of time, I decided it was finally time to move everything to them and have them take over fully.  That's when we were all sitting on el-hazardonline-dl2.net for a while.  But I really wanted everything on el-hazardonline.net in the first place, so I was going to wait for about a month for any remaining links to non-EHOL related webserving off of el-hazardonline.net to go away.  (Various people had used my server since it was effectively free with no bandwidth limit and no advertising; they began to take unfair advantage of that.)  It turned into more like 3 months or something before I finally requested the change.  But anyway, here we are.  :P  

My server is completely out of the picture now, although still available to me, as I use it for personal hosting of images and stuff; it's now known under "bobstuffs.no-ip.com".  The switch to "no-ip.com" is because they're still free (for non personal domains like that), and I certainly don't need to be paying for any more than I have to on anything that I do.  :P  Eventually I'll just let DNS2Go die off without renewing it, and the same with el-hazardonline-dl2.net.

What kind of internet connection are you using for the server? I used cable on mine and its pretty slow. More curiosity.

DSL.  Much more capped than cable at 128 kbps.  I'm surprised I lasted long enough to grow.  :P

Bob, I've wondered another thing. How does that random bus thing work? Isn't it just one gif file?

It's supposed to look that way.  But it's actually a Perl script.  :P

Whoooo! EHOL FOREVER! WOOO!

Sorry.

I only checked EHOL a couple of times, because I'm so busy with PTBSE now. We finally have a Google link! Yey!  ^_^V

That took forever.

But that's not important. At least EHOL is working again! yey!
