I've moved all the static content for the site (CSS, JS, gifs, jpegs, pngs, etc) over to another host.

. 1) Take some load of this machine.
. 2) Take some load of this machine.
. 3) [del]Running[/del] Ran out of bandwidth on this machine.

If it works out, I'll post my hot, hot affliate link to the host where I am getting 1TB of transfer per month for $10/mo. !

Wow, sounds like allot of transfer for hardly any money. Very cool.
I must admit I'm not exactly sure what all that means but I had to say something because you do such a great job with this site.
Thank you for all the hard work.

That's why i'm *testing* it. Although, they do have a ALOT of freaking features. I mean everything. Even Subversion repositories. It's crazy.

Flecco: iPod is broken.; +1,048|6911|NT, like Mick Dundee

Well, I have a 1 min long loading time for a home page that looks nothing like it did... Dunno what you've done Chuy but I cant access the homepage anymore, when I do I'm greeted by white backround and black writing, in screwy places...

-EDIT-

Images of badges and whatnot on the stats screen don't show up properly either, I think what ever you did increased the load times of all the images.....

WTF? Its all back to normal all of a sudden... I have no idea wtf it was.... May have been an ISP prob on my end...

Fuckin' a. If it turns out to be all good and not some million sites per server thing, I may just have to switch!

things have definitely been a bit out of sink.....the partial load left a black and white screed as described....then the next time was semi ok again....

And the new server seems slow. I see "Waiting for static.bf2s.com..." a lot in my status bar when browsing around the main site.

GuliblGuy: Zulu son, what!?!; +79|7031|Anaheim, CA

The first time I pulled bf2s up today, I got an all text screen that just showed a place to put in the pid or nick, and showed the top 10. Refreshed and the normal home page came up, but my rank and other people with my same rank on my leaderboard wasn't showing up (the rank image, first sergeant). Refreshed again and it showed up, though I'm finding load times on all the pages to be taking quite a while.

But a whole friggin TB? Wow.

A lot of times when viewing the site today the pages are displaying without the style sheet and images. Other times just the odd image or 2 doesn’t load. Also it seems a lot slower for loading times now.

Unfortunately I get the same problems here. Site seems slower than usual... Forum is perfectly fine

I wouldn't even mind a text-only version but not everything's even loading it looks like. And the styles are gone. Safari in OS X shows the little "?" icon for images, Firefox shows the same as the PC version. Did we kill the images server?

Yup, the host is down for the count. Just have to wait for Chuy to switch it back over. It was only hosting the images, so we know it wasn't a coding error!

Echo: WOoKie; +383|6965|The Netherlands

Erm i got the same problems with the bf2s homepage, about a minute loading time and its all white with black text and images show a red X. Same deal with my stats page btw, the only pics i can see on that page are the graph and the advert. Tried to refresh like 10 times and it still lookes all weird.

The forums look normal tho
