Default Topsites and Adoptables considered for permanent shutdown

As you may have noticed, the VR server had to be force rebooted approximately twenty times in the last four hours. We may have traced the cause to be, when coupled with the flood of traffic from Pokémon Black and White, the topsites and the adoptables. We have been quite certain that the Rusnak Adoptables are one of the worst pieces of software that can be run on a server due to extremely poor optimization and query flooding.

If you have adoptables, you are highly urged to request for FreezeWarp to migrate them over to VictoryBattles when he starts. This is very serious. PLEASE DO THIS FOR THE SAKE OF THE SERVER, and please don't argue because you like Floatzel Pokédoptables more than VictoryBattles.

The adoptables may be re-opened with extremely limited scripts (clicks only, nothing else). The topsites are most likely going to be permanently shut down unless we can successfully move them to a separate isolated VPS.

Thank you, and very many apologies for the downtime.

At this point, I'm pretty sure most of us would give anything to stop the errors.

I agree, but I guess it's better than having the server having to be re-booted every hour.

The topsites are those icons with the numbers that can be seen at the bottom of the forum. Floatzel has one of those systems.

Then I hope that removing the adopts will be sufficient.

Would a simple PM do? Or will there be something made for such requests?

A lot of people who aren't registered an VR use the adopts, though... :L

@Jason There's a thread in the VictoryBattles board.

We might send out some kind of e-mail alerting everyone of the new system. Anyone who doesn't switch is might be a lost member, sadly.

With all this traffic we can't afford to have downtime. I fully agree with you Cat.

Well it sucks about the adoptables but it's better then having to restart the server every "5" minutes...

If they care enough, they'll sign up and say they are in for the migration and not need to start over. If they don't sign up then they obviously don't care.

I feel sad about having to shut down the original adoptables, the Topsites, or both.
I will admit I like the original adoptables much more than the VictoryBattles edition, but what must be done, must be done.
Good luck on the site's progress.

:/ I guess I'll PM ICEE so that he can move my adopts to VB. And I'll have to actually participate in VB, since I'm too lazy to actually use it. I wanna keep my Warmachine adopt, dood.

Well, it's under consideration still, but we just hit an insane number of unique visitors today: 8,000.

Hm, what's wrong? You can easily get your adoptables migrated here: Floatzel Migration.
