We're Back!

That's right. We're back from suspension! Thank Jacob, Sauron and the other world overlords. (Also, Oleg from tech support.)

I will be looking into ways of optimizing the code. In the meantime, the shoutbox will be unavailable. That seemed to be the biggest resource hog. Sorry for any inconvenience that may cause!

Namaste!

So about 7 hours ago I received an email from Namecheap. Apparently we're using an excessive amount of resources, which caused the IT guys over there to pull the plug on STW. Now, STW might not be the most efficient website, but surely it's not eating up more CPU than your average PHP-based forum. It also amazes me how right now, after a long while of no updates and with less users online, we're using MORE resources than before.

Still having high hopes of this being a mistake, I replied to Namecheap's email. We'll have to see how it goes. I'm hoping we can get the website back soon. Perhaps I can even start optimizing some of the ol' STW code.
