I'm making a Linux C/C++ -based bot.  I've found your site most useful in the past.  Just wondering when you'll get your server issues fixed, or maybe if you could change the host to your site.  Thanks Arta.

Yes, i was wondering the same, maybe you could create a html backup for when shit happens to it, since it seemingly happens alot.

Well, I think he wants the system managed with users so that an unknown person can't abuse the service.  Or maybe it's so we can do posts.  A regular html site WOULD be nice though.   ;D

why don't you just copy and past the stuff in there as txt files for future reference instead of relying on other people and their services... and then bitching about how you can't get anything free anymore for the time being.

Don't be relyant on computers THEY ARE EVIL!!

I really don't mind having it managed with users, but when you are trying to provide a service to the public, and you have a server which can't seem to handle what he would like to do, then what you like to do differs from what you SHOULD do.

You should publish it, with Arta's permission of course. :)

The Valhalla server only has a PHP front-end to bnetdocs.  All the data is still retrieved from Arta's computer on an as-needed basis.  So when he goes offline, so does bnetdocs.

Has anyone ever stopped to think about how dumb a concept that is? :-\

Distributed computing?  Yes, its the dumbest thing since multiprocessing.

+1 to Grok. A coy remark as usual.

Indeed, when everyone knows that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, why add links to chains?

Perhaps making sure the chain has no weak links before you add to it, (get a better system :-\)

My server has not been down at all. BnetDocs broke when the subdomain bnetdocs.valhallalegends.com was added. I don't know why, and perhaps it's just a coincidence, but there were no code changes - to my knowledge, the subdomain was the only thing that's changed. I don't really understand why. I've asked someone to look into it but no one seems to have as yet. I've reviewed the code thoroughly, and it's functioning perfectly on my test server, so it's either a server bug or misconfiguration. I'm not really sure what more I can do.
