The PBS Ranking System is (will be) shutting down :(

Posted by admin on September 20, 2007 · 3 Comments 

I’ve just been informed by Dreamhost, our beloved webhost, that they disabled the database of The PSB Ranking System.

“We have disabled your database “_rank” and the button.php under the
domain ranking.pinoyblogosphere.com.  Please remove ALL topsites files
and such from all of your domains immediately.  We do not allow this
software on sites because it causes huge loads.”

Sorry about that guys. We can’t do anything but to comply or else we might loose our other sites as well. tsk tsk. too bad. oh well :(

This was my short reply to them…

“okidoks. got it! ;) i understand and i’m so sorry about that :D ”

And guess what? their response was… hmmmm…. interesting :)

“Thanks, it happens!  We are reviewing about adding to the terms of
service about topsites and other problem software, but it hasn’t been
done yet.  Sorry it wasn’t very clear.”

So… it’s not in the terms of service yet huh. :D I’m not sure if it’s in the (long) contract though. I have’nt actually read it *lol*. haaaaayyyy.

so what’s your take on this? should we just comply (shutdown the ranking system) immediately or should we try to ask DH to allow us until they update their terms of service?  watchatink guys? feedback naman dyan hehehe. tenk yu tenk yu ;)
nanghihinayang,

    Sometimes it’s written in the TOS that you can’t use stuff that causes a HUGE LOAD on the server. Although that one is vague, it’s on my hosts TOS. lol. Dunno about dreamhost tho.

    Dreamhosts TOS had something about a fair user policy written in the past, guess it’s still there. The FUP is basically used globally as a good excuse to eliminate everything which uses up far above average of resources.
