I know how to get to the emojis on my phone. I don’t know how to select one. I have a list of emojis and when I click on one nothing happens. It’s beyond frustrating.
That’s weird. I miss some of the old emojis, but there are all the emojis in Unicode here (i think that’s how it works) and i find them very easy to access.
What client are you using to access this site? PC or phone? Browser? Discourse app?
Sometimes PC, sometimes iPhone.
i rarely reboot my computer, so i still have some old windows open from the ao that will be gone forever once i reboot 
Actuarial outpost status updated to 509 bandwidth exceeded.
Gonna need more than that 5 buck hosting plan.
They’ve completely decimated their google rankings through all this, and they may not ever come back. That’s a shame. It’s the second time in the last year that a site I used to own has committed google suicide. I offered both my assistance, neither were interested.
Actuaryhub and actuary.com are running paid ads on google right now. I’ve got other plans.
Intersting - that status code is new to me…that’s what happens when the HTTP book I’m reading is 18 years old…
It is funny that a site that isn’t even up yet has that problem though lol.
What kind of hosting provider still does that though? The lowest tier of my provider does not have a bandwidth cap.
It seems to me that they’d do best just to dump the site completely, if they’re not willing to put in the money required to even host a boring discussion board with almost no traffic.
I imagine all sorts of bots ping sites, and if you can’t deal with the background noise of the internet, you really have no business hosting a site.
And new sites get a ton of traffic from web indexing spiders. That’s something every new (or rebuilt) site should anticipate and welcome.
Maybe they want it on the dark web
Crawlers are about 2% of the pageviews here, and we’re pretty well indexed. Well behaved crawler traffic shouldn’t be a concern.
I think that the minimum plan the AO would be on is 5G per month. I can see a couple ways that they could exceed that with just a single page, but they’re all pretty unlikely scenarios. I’m guessing something else going on. Maybe there’s a page request limit on the account - that they could exceed.
I just spent way too much time looking at something that doesn’t matter. But, it’s friday and I wrapped up a decent sized milestone yesterday so…
I guess i was thinking about another chat site that recently moved all their content from vbulletin to discourse. For a short period after they went online, something like a third of their traffic was web crawlers. But they had a lot of pages to be indexed.
