Information / chat server reboots
« Last post by David on April 02, 2020, 02:08:56 PM »Just so everyone is aware that the chat server will probably reboot every now and then. Why is this happening? I don't know as I am still tracking down the possible issue that is causing it.
Now the good about this as well....I have had a setting placed in if the chat server is cause closing down it will now auto start back up. The only issue with this is the rooms will be cleaned up every now and then because of this issue. At least this will help limit the amount of down time of the room if I am not around to start it back up when it fails.
Hopefully I and the main server providers are able to track down what is causing the issue. I'll keep everyone in touch regarding.

Information / Re: closing the sites
« Last post by David on March 26, 2020, 09:20:47 PM »So I want to address a couple of things....
I have heard the talk around a few times and people even asking me if closing the site is "Money" related.
While that is part of the issue...and even though I know a few of you have asked to help out in that area...it's not something I would feel comfortable doing.
However that is not the main issue to me.....
Nobody is around, or chooses to go elsewhere. This is a bigger issue for me than money. Room owners finding their home to another site even after purchasing one here and then talking about how "dead" it is here is the bigger issue to me than money.
Let's face it...20 years running Starlight Chat alone. Dark Realms Chat was closely behind that. Chat Resort as well. I think that is a good amount of years. Some ups and downs but even some of the bigger sites have that issues. You can't imagine how proud I have felt to be able to say 20 years. And I'm so very thankful to all of you for that help in that. The passing of my father really did hit me hard. I have kind of struggled to get my mind into anything since. Perhaps more time that goes by I'll get that energy again.
The other issue at hand is this chat software is honestly dying off. Unless you are huge already established site with certain type of rooms that brings those certain troubles around....than your going to have a much harder time. The software here alone is nearly 25 years old. It has no more supported updates to it. And from what I get won't be either. That means as time goes by updated servers, scripts, software and such will mostly crash this thing down more and more. I don't personally have the skills in order to custom write up my own chat. So that alone brings more issues along as time goes by now. I have looked at having a chat server written up for me. But unless someone knows another who would write up things that I would like and how I would like it to work at a decent price ...then that won't be happening. I have tested a few other ones out that is on the market to purchase but ultimately most that have chat here doesn't like that setup. I understand that too...I prefer this look and feel as well.
So if you haven't heard from me regarding the site directly you can probably bet on most of it's untrue information. I'm open to emails or even discussion if I'm around the rooms if you want to speak about something.
Please keep in mind with the most recent events I'm doing other things in r/t that is keeping me a little busier than I would like to be as well.
Thank you all again for the continued support...it does mean a lot.
Congrats to those who have had an event or two recently and had a good turn out...or even tried. It's very nice to see I promise it doesn't go unnoticed.

Information / Re: server got rebooted
« Last post by David on March 26, 2020, 09:08:50 PM »Just so everyone is aware yes the chat server was rebooted again. I'm not so sure this is toward the hosting provider in this case just yet so I'm monitoring over a few things to see if I can track down the issue. Keep in mind everyone I'm working with a software that is nearly 25 years old and is no longer updated either. So there will be bugs as other things do get updated.

No, that wouldn't be the issue in this case. It was something to do with the main provider and an issue on their end of things.
However anyone who is having issues getting on can send me an email with the following information
Chat Name :
Current IP Address :
Ip address can be found at www.whatismyip.com
if having trouble sending an email through the form they can directly too
david [at] starlightchat [dot] com
or

Just something I’ve been hearing from a lot of people I try to get to visit my room is that folks that once used to be able to access the site now can’t anymore . I’ve tried to have them enter other rooms to make sure it isn’t just my room . I wonder if this has anything to do with the unexpected reboots of the server ?
