Moustachauve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I will post it on the website too, next time something major happen Sadly, I am not able to do any new ribbons, as I am a bad graphist. Unistrut is the one who made the ribbons, so you could ask him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taki117 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 For your information, tonight the database will be completely cleared. I hope to reduce the server load by removing the unused data and deleting inactive user ribbons who will not redo their ribbons set.I am sorry for the inconvenience, I know that it may take time to redo your ribbon again and it may not be your favourite thing to do, but I need to reduce the server load the best I can.Does this mean that (If we choose to do so) we can use the website to display our ribbons in our sig? (I for one am nearly constantly updating them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moustachauve Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 You are allowed to use the website to display your ribbons, but it add loads on the server. What I recommend is that if you update them a lot like you do you keep them on the website, else you upload it somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riftmann Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 It won't let me log in. Has everything been wiped? (Not that it's that big of a deal to me...) But I've been exploring the Kerbol system more than I have since I got the game in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riftmann Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Eh, it's not that big of a problem to create a new user, or update my Ribbons. Doubt it would take 15 minutes, if that. I think you are doing an awesome job. I haven't even used my ribbons as a sig file yet, just a way for me to see that I'm actually making progress. Plus they look pretty... I actually landed a crew on Eeloo and got them back home, with stock parts! (Okay, I used mechjeb, but I'm clumsy at the keyboard interface, and I studied astronomy and math in college so I know what mechjeb is doing anyway... Just better than I could) Again thanks for doing this, and I seconded the fact that this is a wonderful addition to the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTNLemay Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Will it help ease the burden if we host it on something else like imgur? Like I have in my sig at the moment. Or does it not make any difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moustachauve Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) It certainly help If there is any experienced PHP dev. here that is willing to check my code, it could give a great boost. I'm pretty sure my code is pretty ugly Edited April 5, 2014 by Moustachauve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it not make any difference?It might be simpler to just upload the image to the forums; that's what I've done (and please don't tell me that that adds extra load to Moustachauve's server, the forums have no way of knowing where the image originally came from). If anything, the forums should be optimized for the kind of download pattern that signature images produce, and it's less work than updating an imgur link.

vosechu Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 ]My host asked me to reduced traffic or sanction would occur, so I took action to keep the generator alive.If you'd like help finding a different host who doesn't have this restriction, or help getting a VPS please PM me. 133k views isn't a crazy amount of traffic. At the very least we could upload the completed ribbons to S3 and probably pay $5/mo. I think the value of having the ribbons hosted is quite high.

vosechu Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Rough pricing is $7.5/month to use S3. It's $0.12/GB, and I calculated you doing about 2GB/day. So maybe $10/month. If you did it this way, the assets would load faster, and would cause 0 load on your servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moustachauve Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't really know how the S3 thing work, but if it is only something to automatically host my images from my website, I could just use the Imgur API that upload the ribbons from my website and return to you the imgur link. My host is costing my 4 Canadian dollars per month, I have unlimited storage space and unlimited bandwidthThis is the deal I actually have (My contract will end at the end of May) : http://www.hostpapa.ca/web-hosting-plan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moustachauve Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) I made a little update on the main page. The preview images should now show most of the time. Previously, I was lucky if I had more than 3 loading properly. Now when I tested it, they all loaded correctly This little update make the website feel way more fast and responsive, I hope you will enjoy it Edited April 8, 2014 by Moustachauve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireflower Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 To the host: I recommend just turning off the option to host signatures on your site. Asking people nicely won't work.To the users: There are dedicated image hosting sites that are free, fast, and popular. I recommend this one.

Spanier Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Do we get flags for the sun?I want to build a solar space station and use the new flag option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moustachauve Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thank you for the positive feedback I don't want to force people to use image hosting service, the purpose of my app is to be the simplest way to generate ribbons, so I want it to stay like it isAbout the sun flag, you would need to ask jfjohnny5, the one who created them (You can find a link to his thread in the FAQ page on my website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
