aspnetguy Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Remember that this board is overseen by InvisionZone...actually invisionzone just hosts it and w3s is in full control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Remember that this board is overseen by InvisionZone...actually invisionzone just hosts it and w3s is in full control.I think you're missing the excellent point Synook makes.Perhaps because of the hollidays, W3Schools forgot to pay InvisionZone the bill for the next year/month/whatever?

vchris Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 but why does w3schools need invisionZone to host this forum for them? They already host the website so what's hosting a forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 but why does w3schools need invisionZone to host this forum for them? They already host the website so what's hosting a forum...A few hundeds, if not thousands of megabytes I believe.Each letter in every single post you see is a byte. Add to that the additional data that every registered user adds up just by being registered and you'll eventually reach gigabytes of data.W3Schools may not have this capacity on the server where they host the site. InvisionZone however has it. Their servers were specifically built to handle this kind of big load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 kaijim let us know it was a bug in the software that was messing up with the year 2008. Seems like an odd thing to cause a bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the DB is in the GB. Even if it is every hosting company now offers crazy space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesdisciple Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 LOL, that's interesting. I'm glad I accidentally missed the frustration by taking a hiatus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
