PCM.daily - the situation
Article updated, 5th of July
Hello,
As you have noticed, we have had a few problems with the site the past two days. Everything should be working properly now, though, but there will be a few structural changes in the future. The past year, the site has in fact been hosted at three different sites. We have had two download 'servers' and one site 'server'. This is, of course, not the most optimal way of running a website, especially not when it comes down to the $$$, so the plan has been to move all things to one server. A few weeks ago, we got rid of one of the download servers, and now the time has come to the final 'move', as we are moving the site from the current website host to the download server. This is a slow progress, especially because we have a rather lousy website host, but at some point, the site will become inaccessible. We will warn you before-hand, and we might not move it right now because of the Tour de France coming up.
Anyway, the download section is back up, the site is working (although it's very slow :( ), so enjoy - 1 day to go until the start of Le Tour :D
Edit: The final move has now been done, the site should be working properly from now on and to eternity ;)
We are currently in the middle of moving the site to a new host, so everything is placed on the same server. There will be some inconvienences during this 'thing' which can last for up to three days. First, the DL-server is down, as said, and secondly the website will be down for a few hours at some point.
This morning, PCM.daily has experienced a few hours of downtime, and you were met by the error message: "This site has been suspended". Our service provider had decided to suspend the site due to a SQL query which caused problems with the SQL server. This query came from the Latest Active Threads panel which we because of that had to disable. It may become available again at some point, but for the time being you will have to survive without it.
Sorry for the inconvience caused by this,
Edit: I have now enabled it, but now with just 5 threads on it. Hopefully, that won't cause too much damage. Time will tell.
Since the poll seemed not to be ever changing its outcome from the one it had now, we decided to unveil the new name for out project. PCM Fusion DB will be the brand behind all the work done by both PCM.daily and PCM-Spain crews will be. That means a user from PCM-Spain (xykox) granted the right to get the package's Release Candidate some time before the rest of the crowd.
Thanks for participating on both the names proposal and the poll. Enjoy!
According to several sources, Cycling Evolution, the rival game by Crimson Cow, will not be released. It has simply been cancelled. Rin, a member of this site, has reported that people who had ordered the game from Amazon has received an order cancellation, saying that they won't receive the game. According to anonymous sources, it's simply due to the fact that the product doesn't live up to the standards, and secondly, because Crimson Cow doesn't feel like there's a market for it due to the doping problems in the sport.
