The past few weeks, our host (Lunar Pages) have had some changes to their service. One of those changes is server usage. Apparently the Mag Chat has been passing the threshold of the allowed usage to the newly adjusted usage levels. For us to be able to keep the site up, we've had to disable the chat for the time being.

The chat should be back up after either communicating to Lunar Pages and working out some kind of arrangement, or when Ix goes in and re-code the chat to not utilize as much resources as it does. Both of these things are unfortunately unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Pretty unfortunate that this happened, but its something that's beyond your guys' control, so I can understand why it had to happen.

As an updated, even with the chat disabled, we are still over our limit. We're still leaving the chat down for now while we try and figure out what is causing the issue.

This is getting a bit ridiculous. I know it's not Ix's fault. But this whole LunarPages thing has gotten to be quite annoying these past couple of weeks.

It's been a huge hassle. Lunarpages hasn't offered any help what so ever either. We're currently looking into other providers to see if the best option is to just move.

How about a temporary chatroom on a third party software?
There are many free chatroom servers...

Good idea. It is done now:

http://us19.chatzy.com/78036772346472

As long as you have that URL, you can join. I've made the chat link redirect to there for now.

This whole issue is annoying to me, too, since I have to take time out to work with it.
