Seems like KB is suffering because RU has two chatrooms misused, so now we have lost ours, that seems fair.
All three are offline. I turned them off when the host upgraded the server and baffed the forums due to inconsistencies in the CHAT coding. Both chat types are a bit wonky, though the one used HERE (FlashChat) still kinda-sorta works after some other tweaks I've done. The other one (used solely at RavishU) has the possibility of working better, but I'd need to divorce it from the forum database to reduce load, and that's not much better than sending the folks over to IRC.
However, with the load issues, I don't see how we can keep
any of 'em running. That's why I turned them all off. Taking the forums down for a small handful of users that just want to use Kristen's and RavishU for an IRC replacement is damned silly.
We *still* have load issues. Between 7 and 8AM this morning CST, the server coughed up a total of 6800 pages to 1500 unique addresses, and we briefly got shut down. About 10% of that load was in 10 users; only one of them registered on either forum.
