What's The use of.... knowing the current online/downtime status of x10? Yes it does help others by letting them become aware, but I mean, isn't just frustrating seeing ftp/cpanel/mysql/etc. online while the more important http is down? c'mon... :tear:

Yes, that particular aspect can be frustrating, but I'm guessing the hopes of having those indicators available to the public is to stop the "attack of the is-the-server-down posts." It'd make sense too, there were tons of posts from the dns issues, and a bunch from every other downtime session x10 had...
But yes it is annoying to see that everything BUT http is down. But at least it's an attempt at stopping the forums from going nuts when the host goes down for a bit

well, there are alot of accounts that need to be terminated like 700 at least, i terminated 200 by hand then said screw it and me and nedren are making a script to auto-terminate all accounts that were suspended before a certain date. it should clear up some server stability issues... hopefully.

dont worry about the script we'll run it without the deletion capability probobly until we know 100% sure it will not delete anyones account...
1) the script double (almost triple) checks to make sure your account is currently suspended threw WHM and JM.
2) it will take all the accounts it knows are there and will check to see if they were suspended before the time it is set to terminate.
3) it will terminate those accounts that were suspended before the time (using unix timestamp conversions) and it will then pass over those not suspended and those that were not suspended in the time frame.
4) we are going to run this script threw many times without it deleting anything (simply leaving out code) to make sure its 100% acurate and no accounts will be lost that are not ment to.
I know it may be like ?OH NO* something might not work right... but we will be making sure it works before we try to delete accounts with it.
i hope that helps you understand it a bit more, but thats pretty much what it does.

I thought when you had a server wipe-up last year (we're down for a weeek) everything will be ok since unused accounts will be deleted... and now theres still 700 at least to be terminated... wow... i guess you should stop accepting new accounts for the meantime until these scrap accounts are all deleted... :hsughno:

We accept 10 random accounts per night. We opened sign ups back in, (I think), at the end of November.. People should just stop signing up then forgetting about their account. ;-)
A few of the staff members and I have a few custom scripts in place now to manage accounts more efficiently, so this really shouldn't be happening again.
