Surreal-news forums are back. What now?

Post by StormÂ¥ L@ke »

The surreal-news forum is back up thanks to Unknown Warrior and Lowlight.

So i don't know if it makes sence to have a second similar forum.
Arokh's Twin, what do you think about it?

Also, this forum is driven by ASP (active server pages) and that from surreal-news by PHP.
Is it just me or is ASP faster then PHP?

All is relatively relative

Hmm, Lowlight said he could no longer host my site, so that's why I set up this one. I thought I might as well add a forum too...
Ill have to wait and wee what happens I suppose.
As for ASP, its an alternative to PHP. ASP is a winNT / win 2000 only script.

I think your Site needs his own forum.
Also your Site is very good and you update it regulary.
So i hope that these forum will be exepted by the Drakan community.

PHP _is_ the fastest language... but it also depends on the host you have

I agree that a forum for Arokh's Lair is worth to have.

But maybe better not take the same setup as the surreal-news forums?

I set these forums up similar to Surreal-news in case they didn't come back.
Anyway I've slightly modified my forum's sections; I think they are OK as they are as this layout categorises the topics.

hmm ... as lowlight promising us his new host for site/forums looks like less stable ... forums/site become frequently unreachable at all :( ... thus we have the reason to post here too ...

Jup <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> and they are being moved to another server? if that server is more stable, then i guess that is good news.

Why are all things going wrong lately
- less servers
- problems with forum
- other problems

...

- and no more icecream in the fridge

*sigh* where did i leave that rope...

Lowlight must be picking a lot of poor web site hosts.
This one costs me $45.00 per year including a free domain name. I have to pay for the domain separatley after 2 years though. You get 25 megs of space, choice of UNIX or WIN2000 server, database support and other stuff. And they are reliable; so far only 2 hrs downtime in about 2 months.
