I'm upgrading the server's RAM for HMW

Hey guys,

I'm out of ideas for how to improve the database or the code on this website for the time being. The only thing I know to do is UPGRADE. :D

The server that runs Seibertron.com currently has 2GB of RAM. The hosting company for my server is having a special right now where 2GB of RAM is 50% per month. I'm adding an additional 2GB of RAM for $45 a month to the server, which I think is a great deal. I hope that having a total of 4GB of RAM available on the server will help immensely with the memory problems and that we can have HMW up and running once again in the next 24 hours with no problems at all.

Keep your fingers crossed my friends! :D

Thank you very much for the update Seibs. I know most of us were hoping for an update from you concerning the status of HMW.

The update is appreciated. I think we were feeling a little out-of-the-loopy. The upgrade is even more appreciated. Here's hoping it works!

Thanks for the update Ryan,

So the CPU load is okay? It was just the server paging to disk that was causing the issues? I'm suprised you were able to keep going this long with only 2GB, we had to go to 3GB a year ago due to paging and we only have 1/3rd the registered users you do.
