I think the servers might be down for a little while. xptek's mom was bitching at him about paying for the servers. @ template, nice work.

Looks good, I hope you slice it properly. I can have a try at it if you want me to.

No. Seriously. No.

that brings me to my next question. What does slicing do? Seperate parts of pics into multiple parts or allow site expansion?

You have to know where to slice it to make it expand, it makes each part of the image into tables, like you would slice it where you wanted a content box to be, or a navigation bar. You need to take your time if you are not using Iframes though (iframes require MUCH less slicing abilities.)

No. Seriously. No.

There are hundreds of ultra better free webhosting sites out there than Angelfire. Hell, even Tripod is better.

http://www.freewebs.com <--- That one is pretty good.

Template looks okay, ease off on the embossing. I would say you are going slightly overboard with it. Simple never hurt.

Slicing is the process of cutting up an image into managables sizes, allow better navigation, cutting down load time and easy integration with tables.

I use Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 to do slicing. You can also do this in Photoshop or Imageready to name a few.

I can host it with FTP access if you want, I'll set you up something like http://www.trielite.net/~bullmedia and you can point that .notlong address to your site.

No. Seriously. No.

I have anti-hacking stuff, 20 bad requests and you get banned for an hour Razz

Quote:

Anti-Hacking Protection

Although Abyss Web Server is secure and has an integrated system to prevent malicious accesses to the server, it was equipped with an automatic anti-hacking protection system to detect clients that are trying to attack the server and to ban them. This system improves the overall security, detects at an early stage denial of service attacks, and saves the bandwidth that could be wasted during attacks.

To configure the anti-hacking system, select Anti-Hacking Protection in the Server Configuration dialog.

The displayed dialog is made of the following items:

*

Enable Automatic Anti-Hacking Protection: Check it to enable the automatic anti-hacking protection system.
*

Do not monitor requests from: This table contains the IP addresses or IP address ranges that should not be protected against hacking. Refer to "IP Addresses and Ranges Format" appendix for more information about the IP addresses and ranges. Fill this table with trusted IP addresses only.
*

Bad requests count before banning: The number of tolerated bad requests before considering the client as attempting to hack the server. A request that results in a reply which HTTP status code is 400 or 401 is counted as a bad request. A request that results in a reply which HTTP status code is 403, 404, 405, or 408 is counted as half a bad request.
*

Monitoring Period: The server considers only the bad requests that are generated by a client during the last Monitoring Period to decide whether to ban it or not. The bigger this parameter is, the more memory the anti-hacking system needs to record all the bad requests.
*

Banning Duration: How much time a client is banned when it is considered as hacking the server.



In other words, the anti-hacking system works as follows: If a client has generated Bad requests count before banning bad requests during the last Monitoring Period seconds, then ban it for the next Banning Duration seconds. When a client is banned, the server will not accept connections from it.

Note:: The server preserves the list of banned clients when it is shutdown. So if a client was banned for 2 hours at 10:00, and if the server was stopped at 10:15 and restarted at 11:00, the server will continue to not accept requests from the banned client until 12:00.




No. Seriously. No.

Hey man,

I like it, you've improved ALOT.

But yah, still needs work, some of that embossing is starting to go over the top.

Also the Bullmedia Text needs to change, use a pixel font like Ast126 (If you ever had aston shell installed on your computer, Ast16=126 will be there). Go to http://www.1001freefonts.com and find a pixel font.

xptek

The server should be back up in a few, a few kiddies just decided that they were going to spend their Friday packeting. Smile


And when is exactly "in a few"? Confused


I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

I'm really getting sick of this shit. It should have been resolved yesterday, but, whatever, we're only paying for our services, so why should they try and have good customer service?

whoa.

Well, the dedicated server is back up, but it'll make you feel that you're on a 16k connection.

whoa.
