Going to http://www.mysticbbs.com (or the wiki) gives this error:
*Bandwidth Limit Exceeded*
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later.
It's been like this for the last few hours.
Thought you should know.
This has happened in the past when g00r00 is busy building new alphas
and there are more files to download. I must have downloaded 5 or so copies this month.. :). Avon did have a mirror online that we could download from and save the Mystic BBS website from getting too much traffic.
That's understandable, odd that in this day and age *Bandwidth Limit Exceeded* is still a thing, though.
If he needs a new host for his stuff, I highly recommend OVH as they offer unlimited bandwidth and are like USD $3.49/mo for a vps with 2ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, 20GB SSD storage and unlimited bandwidth. I'm very happy with them.
Actually, I'm not just saying that for his benefit, I'd recommend this for anyone who wants a vps. It's such a good deal. *knock on wood* I haven't had any issues with them.
I must have a closer look at this. Who is OVH and where do I find them?
ATM I'm using linode.com. For $5 a month I get 1Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM and 25
GB storage. It works well for the BBS but I will look at OVH.

Yep it is, and we've hit it before so I've had to reach out to the host
to allocate more. I'll do the same hopefully it will go well.
Its odd to me because it feels like the least amount of people are using Mystic than maybe ever, but bandwidth usage suggests otherwise!
I will have to look into it too maybe for my own BBS. But as far as mysticbbs.com itself, I worry that moving that to a VPS like that would cause problems not with bandwidth, but with bandwidth caps in speed.
I think a lot of the bandwidth unlimited VPS packages put some pretty major caps on how much bandwidth you can use at once so that even if you were downloading 24/7 for a month you wouldn't use a lot. This works
fine for a BBS, but for hosting mysticbbs.com that is already busy
enough to hit bandwidth caps, I worry it'd be too slow.

interesting. if you don't mind me asking, what sort of figures are we talking about here?
I think the introduction of the Wiki a while back probably upped the bandwidth usage quite a bit, though I never really looked into the
impact it had.
It just feels odd now like I said. This has happened before but I feel Mystic's popularity feels has waned a bit with so many other new BBS packages out there (and 1.12 becoming pretty stable) compared to those days.
Well I don't have anything that would put too much stress on my VPS, a
few websites, a minecraft server (for my kids, honestly), the uk hub for tqwNet, and it has the ability to download and upload at 100Mbps...
other than that I don't know.
My VPS provider strictly prohibits minecraft servers of any kind. They never caught the one I had on there though. lol!

Hahaha that's cool... how did you manage to keep it a secret from them?
I see you say they never caught the one you "had" on there... what happened to it?
