I danced a rain dance in the hopes that tba would return
I donned my coconut bra and grass skirt and everything!

Quote from: JoeyBangwhy was it down in the first place?

i think this calls for a STATUS REPORT

at first they told me that tba was generating too many "spam reports", but it turned out they pasted the wrong suspension message to me

the real problem is that apparantly i'm hosting too many mp3's, which they claim is against their ToS. their ToS does state that hosting illegal mp3's is not allowed, however the directory in question is the public file dump - which you guys mostly use for uploading original content.

so instead i deleted the old tf2 jukebox folder which has 870 mp3's that we don't use anymore. if this is enough for them then that's the end of it. if it isn't, tba will be migrated to a VPS (virtual private server). the upside of this is that, well, tba will have its own server and i'll be able to do a lot more to the site. the downside is that it costs $30 more per month.

ok, that made them happy, so we're ok for now.

in the mean time, if there are any mp3's in your file dump you aren't using it would be helpful to me if you could remove them. you can upload mp3's still, just don't upload hundreds or i might get their attention again.

i wasnt really contributing much to the mp3 total at all but i got rid of all of mine anyway

Glad it is back. This is pretty much the only forum I care enough to post in.

it was down for probably 6 hours in the middle of the night for those of us in the western hemisphere

For once, I actually needed to show somebody something I had only in the file dump and found TBA gone :<

sorry about that :( thankfully the down time was relatively short as far as my mishaps with this site have gone in the past

I was going to kill myself until I saw Rtil's sweet, sweet Facebook status. It's good to be back.

That is a beautiful picture, Dilly. Clearly it expresses the horror and grief the TBA citizens experienced during this tragic event.

You know, Sonic's been a pretty thoughtful guy lately

I'll go back and remove mp3s that are less likely to be looked at
Considering what I do, I'm probably one of the larger offenders among the users

Post by: sev on April 14, 2011 04:49 PM

all the mp3's on my dump are crappy music covers so i think i'm safe

Post by: GhostingFish on April 19, 2011 08:10 PM

whats the link to that ancient public filedump on here?

Title: Re: tba is back

in case you are blind, it's the blue link on top of every page called "filedump"

Title: Re: tba is back

rtil's joking! such a prankster!
click on allie's belly button for the actual filedump.

he's talking about the old public filedump. the filedump button takes you to your personal file dump. the one he is referring to has probably been deleted, but you can tell he doesn't mean his private filedump when he refers to it as "the ancient filedump".

Title: Re: tba is back
Post by: rtil on August 4, 2012 12:11 AM

well obviously not because i did not understand that when i read it. the public filedump would have been more clear. and yes it still exists. http://thebackalleys.com/ok/public/ (http://thebackalleys.com/ok/public/)
