Popular Post Ron Posted August 27, 2013 Popular Post Posted August 27, 2013 Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. - Mark Twain Yup! We're back! SBC (and SBU) went offline on Friday. I apologize for the abruptness, but we are now back up on an amazing new VPS server. What does VPS mean? It stands for Virtual Private Server, which means instead of sharing a server with other sites (which is what we used to do), we now get our own independent slice with its own resources to manage. Texts are now crisper (at least on the skin I'm using, which will be released to you soon! It's a secret right now thought ), and the site is INCREDIBLY fast. There has been a significant speed bump in loading times. Thanks for your patience! SpongeBob Universe's launch is imminent, by the way. Because of the situation with the Wiki, it's kicked us into overdrive and the whole thing is going to be rolling out soon (including a polished new SBC skin that was created in a collaboration with another amazing, secret designer!). Also, I would like to give special thanks to Jelly, Clappy, and hilaryfan80. Jelly and Clappy stepped up and paid for the server; both are truly extraordinary members that deserve recognition. hilaryfan80 also completely customized the server himself and is responsible for tons of behind-the-scenes optimizations on SBC that often go unnoticed. Give a round of applause to these three! 15
crushingmayhem Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Glad to have some feedback Dylan. The site seems to be running faster now, at least for me. But hopefully we can settle this soon and everything goes back to normal.
Guest hilaryfan80 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The server is so fast because it was 100% customized by me.
Patrick-Man! Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

crushingmayhem Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 inb4nextdeath If that happens, we'll then have to make the last resort. If you know what I mean.
Wumbo Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 If that happens, we'll then have to make the last resort. If you know what I mean. I'll take you under my wing if you know what I'm saying. 3

Jellatine Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Yaaay! Can't wait to see the new skin and everything else, and you're quite welcome, if I can do something about it, you can count on me, it's no problem, I love you guys and this site a lot and and I couldn't live with knowing I could have done something to save it and didn't, so I did
SpongeOddFan Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 guess i missed a lot, didn't I? anyways, that's awesome news to have SBC back.
SpongeOddFan Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 sorry for double post but...what happened to SBC Wiki?
ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 sorry for double post but...what happened to SBC Wiki? Currently hilaryfan80 is opening SBU in pieces. The main site just redirects here, and the News and Wiki pages send you to a download link. Hopefully hilaryfan80 can open these up again as soon as possible.
