Thread: Boys Can be such jerks ((OverlordmattXNightRose))

Rin felt him jerk her hair once more. She felt so horrible tears just couldn't stop as the thought of how he must truly hate her with how he treated her. As she stood up she knew this wasn't going to be good but she had to stop making him such a fool. She went to the kitchen cooking and cleaning as she went about. As she looked up stairs she knew that tonight would be something for both of them.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

I am getting the impression that this is becoming a serious problem. There are a few options we can do to mitigate the situation. 1 Remove the AJAX Chat. I'm sure that's a popular idea It is the largest load on the site, regardless. 2 Lower the PM limits further. This is somewhat less of a pain and only really affects users using the private messaging system specifically, though it does lock a process when using it. Ultimately a temporary patch at best. 3 Convert the forum to a more scalable software like SMF. This is at best a temporary fix but lets me offload the search to Sphinx properly, for example. SMF's themes are in general not the best and 2.0 is still in the RC stage. 4 Get an actual new server for Blue Moon - either by basically funding a new one for Elliquiy and taking Elliquiy's, or simply getting a cheaper one. This would be a couple to several hundred dollars down depending on the server -plus- an additional 40-80 a month or so. Ultimately, what happens once a site becomes active enough is that we need to flush to disk fairly often - but since this is a VPS, we share half a dozen hard drives with two dozen other people. This does not work in our favor for very long. We need to move, but I'm not in a position where I can just drop several hundred for a shiny new box, I'm afraid. So, commentary about how to progress is welcome. If you want to donate, PM me . If I can get enough subscriptions to cover the monthly cost of the server and donations for the setup, I will make the move.

If there was some way I could just send a monthly fee through Paypal, I would. On the otherhand, removing AJAX would be best. But I have yet to notice any big slow downs with Bluemoon yet.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

Personally Bluemoon hasn't been that slow for me. Not even the chat, but a new server does sound like a good idea! I'm not sure how soon it is needed, maybe a few months we might really, really need a new one. So it is probably a good idea to start getting money together now. -nod-
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

What about dedicating a cheap server to just the chat? That would take the greatest strain from the server and migrate it to something else. I don't know how much strain it puts, but having a whole computer limited though it may be dedicated to it should alleviate the problem nicely. If built right and with minimal specs the server wouldn't have to be very big or anything, you could probably build it for around 300-400 unless I miss my guess, but that would be through ordering the parts and building it yourself. The biggest problem would still be the monthly additional fee, I suppose.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

Honestly? The chat is probably the best thing to get rid of at this point. I've never used it, and on the rare occasion I check it out, hardly anyone is using it. If the chat is what's taking up the most room, why not do something more manageable, like putting a chatbox in on the front page? Or are my computer smarts faulty? Because I really don't know much about what I just said, but it seems like a chatbox wouldn't put nearly as much strain on this place as the AJAX chat is now. But that's just me. I'm all in favor of moving to a new server if we need to, but anything that requires money for us to do shouldn't be taken lightly. As previously observed, we're not a group of people with a lot of money to shell out, so we should look for the most cost effective plan first.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

Take out the AJAX thing. It's silly. If you want really want to talk with someone, download the same messengers and open a group chat.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

I would say remover Ajax chat if it is the least thing used. SMF wouldn't be a bad idea, yes the themes are the best, but there are more themes then the basic ones out there, but ultimately is new server. I would be paying some sort of VIP subscription, I may be new but plan to stay.

I haven't honestly noticed a huge problem yet, but it is beginning to slow down a bit. I vote for removing the AJAX chat.

My vote is to trash the chat. It's the cheapest, most effective option there is, and from what i've seen, most people don't use it. The normal chat is much just right there when you go to a page, and allows you to keep on keepin on with whatever your postinglooking at.

I absolutely adore the chat, and I love talking to new people on it. I wouldn't even know any new members if it weren't for the chat. I haven't noticed things slowing up very much, it's been reduced significantly. I would rather have some temporary stops than no chat at all. I find it my favourite feature and I use it the most.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

I agree with goaty. Trashing the chat is a bad, bad idea. It helps new members meet people and I have seen it used almost constantly, there are down times, but it gets its share of use.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

My activity here has already been cut to less than half of what it used to be, the chat is all I ever use any more. My statement might not hold much weight at this point, but if the chat goes, then I say goodbye to Blue Moon.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

Oh... Well, without the chat, there wouldn't be epic quotes...
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

The chat is NOT going. Absolute veto on that. We are not pursuing alternate options of chatting or other programs. Having it on every page does wonderful things for the community, in my eyes. My vote would be to transfer the forum to SMF. I've been in favor of this since Vek first floated it shortly after BMR 3.0 was originally made and he got a good feel for the inefficiencies of phpBB. Plus, apparently there's many nifty user tracking tools! Eee! But it's like MP3. Not the best, but standard and popular. People wanted to keep it then. There would be adjustments, and I'd want to confer with all staff at length about a theme decision - If anyone onsite has any experience with SMF themes, please speak up now. Custom WOULD be ideal. Some SMF themes I've seen have not impressed me when it come to usability. Temporary solution as it may be, we have had an upspike of supporters in the last few months - Every little bit helps, ja? Maybe some time is all we really need to hit critical mass. But that takes more involvement from everyone And I'm ESPECIALLY not exempt from this.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

I'm all for options one, two and maybe four. If the chat puts such a strain on the server and few people use it, then getting rid of it is logical. As for personal messages 700 is just so many. Why not go dow to 200? Also if you reply with quote and then remove the quote tags you can put a big chunk of one rp in a single post since one post can hold 65535 characters. That way you wouldn't have to have many PMs in your inbox for one rp and you can still read back. If one part is done because the post is full you can save it and start part 2 and once the rp dies delete it. As for a new server. I'd say hold that off for a little while. With no AJAX chat and a lower PM limit the server should at least for the time being work fine. Of course if you can find one that's just as good but cheaper I'd say go for it.

Considering how much I have enjoyed the site, if I was not completely fucking broke I would be happy to donate to it! It would probably be best to take temporary fixes for now, and then see how things go. x It would be a serious shame if the chat goes it's a great way to get to know people.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

A lower PM count would definately be a good patch until a decision is made about switching to SMF. Honestly getting rid of chat would all but cut my activity to just logging on maybe once a day to welcome newbies and answer posts. Just because a few people here have posted they do not use it, does not mean people don't. Peak hours seem to be later afternoons and evenings, so if you're saying it's empty all the time try again during those times.
Thread: Getting a server for Blue Moon (Read and Comment please)

I upped the maximum number of processes, so, for now, the only people who should bitch regarding pms causing slowness are the mass pmers It could be cut down to 250 or so. Converting to SMF would also let me bring the ons and offs program over from Elliquiy, also. Would hate to convert before RC3 is released, though.

I do remember my personal opinion of switching over to SMF. I think I remember saying this about a year ago too. sometimes I actually know what I'm talking about.

Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

I was in Pittsburg, staying at the Renaissance Hotel on 6th Street, having a late dinner in the Opus with three male co-workers, after a long day of conferencing. I have to admit I was worn out, but the wine, while relaxing me and helping to free me from the stress of the day, also served to heighten my already-attuned sexual radar. While we were sharing stories of business exploits mixed with ribald humor, my attention began to turn from the conversation and the prime rib in front of me, as my eyes locked first once then twice on a woman seated about 20 feet away. The brunette, with hair flowing just below her shoulders was eating with a female companion, and their laughter and upbeat spirit helped to lighten the darkened atmosphere of the swanky restaurant. By the time our eyes had locked on each other for the third time... being clearly more than just a glance... I felt a slight stirring in the lower regions. I think I was starting to get an erection.... With this third look, our eyes kept their attention on the other person, and she flashed me a quick, somehow shy, maybe embarrassed smile. She glanced aside at her friend, to make sure she had not noticed... and she was safe. Her dark-haired companion had been re-arranging the salad with her fork. Hopefully I thought she glanced back at me, to find an inviting, serious look that sought to communicate, I want you... now. Her eyes broke our stare, and she hurriedly fumbled with the slice of bread on her plate, while I grunted a response to my table mates, never looking away. For me... the hunt was on. Something about this girl... this woman... captivated me. Her mesmerizing eyes? The flow of her hair? Her relaxed laugh? Or a erotic energy that seemed focused my direction... I don't know. But I wanted her... I knew that. I took out a business card, scribbled my room number on the back, stuck it in my shirt pocket, and took a less-than-direct route to the restroom, passing within feet of this woman who had caught me with such an allure. A slight up-turn of the edges of my mouth as she glanced at me as I walked by, and I hoped the message was clear. I would know in a manner of minutes. I took a bit longer than needed in the restroom... brushed my fingers through my hair, and stepped back out into the restaurant, my eyes immediately locking on her position. As though on cue, she stood up, excused herself and started toward the women's restroom. I paused momentarily, and then brushed near her shoulder as we both rounded a table. I spun around apologetically but planned, reaching for her hand ever so briefly to appologize for my clumsiness, and slipped my card into her hand. She assured me, softly, Oh, don't worry about it, and the game was on. She picked up the hidden cues, playing along with me, conveying -- without so much as a word -- that she felt a desire for me, as well. My heart was pounding, wildly... Could others hear it? ... and wondered if I would learn her name before our first kiss.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

My heart was pounding out of my chest as I finished my meal. Whereas we had stolen glances a number of times before heading to the restroom, I know felt self-conscious. Had I just made a fool of myself? Would there be any chance she'd meet me? Was I just imagining the energy I had sensed between us? When I had touched her hand, by accident, I had felt a surge of erergy... raw passion... flood my entire being. Her hand had been soft, warm... somehow inviting. And her voice, those few words, spoken with an accent I couldn't quite identify, conveyed a warmth that I found intoxicating. I fiinshed my meal and received the check, jotting down my room number and scribbling my name before I had the courage to look her way again. Instantly I was disappointed when she was focused on her friend, talking intensely. My gaze lingered I was certain I had made a fool of myself, and would never see her again. It was just as well, I told myself. As the pastor of a church, and a married man on top of that, I had no business playing with this fire. And it was clear I was a good deal older than her. All these thoughts conspired in my mind to make me realize that the door was closed. Until her eyes turned my way again. I literally gave a small gasp, my mouth opening slightly. I could not look away. With my peripheral vision I could tell her friend was not looking at her she was reaching for her glass of water. My girl , however, held my gaze. Was that a slight nod she gave me?, I wondered to myself. My head raised slightly, in possible acknowledgement, and I reached for my clothe napkins, wiping my mouth. As I stood, I glanced back. She was laughing with her friend. Walking toward the entrance to the restaurant took me further from her table, but before I stepped into the lobby, I cast one last glance back across the dimly-let room. My eyes located her, now from a new angle. She was not looking my way my heart pounded as I studied her hair. And then I turned toward the elevator, pressing the UP arrow.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

For most of the rest of my meal, I kept my gaze forward. Continuing a conversation that had started with my friend, though in the back of my mind I thought of how I would be able to step away from my friend and find a way up to this man's room. Time continued to click by, and through the corner of my eye I saw as the few men sitting at the table began to stand from the table. A few men already started to scatter, and walk away to either their room or some location that I had really not cared about. My head had turned, my green eyes meeting with his dark ones. The smile retaining on my lips as I saw him. It looked as though there was some sort of disappointment on his face, before I had looked his way again. I had thought to myself...he must want an answer. I could've just ignorned the card that he had given me, though instead I just gave a slight nod of my head. Knowing someway, I would be able to join him later. I turned my head back to my friend, resuming the conversation and our laughter filling the otherwise relaxing and silent restaurant around us. I once again gave one more look towards the man as he strolled away, thoughts brewing in my mind of how to join him without my friend across the table noticing. Do you see someone, you know...? She heard her friend speak, as she met back with her gaze. Hm...oh no, it looked like someone familiar, but it's not. I quickly spoke, speaking faster than I probably should have. You know...I'm not feeling so hot... I began to speak, hoping this small act would work. I lifted up my right hand and placed it on my stomach, then made a small moaning sound that made it sound like my stomach was hurting me. The girl looked at me worried, and began to ask whether to get me anything. I shook my head, and put my other hand up to her. Maybe you should take my keys, and drive back home... I began, as I had reached towards my purse and within moments began handing my car keys to my friend. I feel like I need to get some rest...maybe they have a cheap room here or something. You want to stay by yourself? I could at least... My friend began again, but I just shook my head. No, no...it's fine. It'll be more expensive for a room, if there's more of us. Just stop by in the morning? I tilted my head, I tried to give a smile but I forced a fake grimace instead. My hand pressing more firmly to my stomach. You could really help me out by doing this... After much persuasion, my friend had eventually agreed. Soon going our separate ways.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

Some time later... perhaps twenty minutes... there was a soft knock on door 723. I opened the door. I had two soft table lights turned on, and some jazz music playing softly. The bed was left untouched I didn't want to assume too much. After all, I had no idea if you would really show. My suitcase had been stored in a closet it gave all appearance of being a normal room... a bedroom. I was dressed in a pair of dress slacks, with a dark green and black checked shirt on no tie. My shoes were off and stowed in the closet. I looked like I was ready to spend the evening relaxing with a book. I slid the door open... neither quickly or slowly, and without meaning to, left my left hand on the doorknob. My heart was pounding wildly in my chest. Thank you for coming, I said softly, stepping aside slightly, to allow you to come in. I was totally mesmerized by your green eyes.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

I waved goodbye to my friend, giving her another reassuring statement before she drove off. Though instead of turning around and heading to the front desk to ask for a room, I headed to the elevator and pressed the 'UP' button, my hand reaching into my skirt pocket and pulling out the business card she was handed. The elevator soon opened, and stepping inside I had pressed the number 7 for the 7th floor. The elevator gave a small jolt, before it began to go up and stop within a few moments at the 7th floor. I stepped out and glanced down each hallway, before making my way to the left, following my way towards room 723. I had begun to felt nervous, my cheeks heated in a light blush as I passed multiple rooms and came closer to my destination. I stopped before room 723, took in a slow, shaky breath and reached my hand forward to knock. Before I knew, I came face to face again with the gentleman I had made eye contact with during dinner. Slowly I nodded my head and stepped forward and into the room. Once I was in the middle of the room, I turned on my heel to face him a small smile curved on my lips. Very nice room, you have... I whispered out to him, glancing around for only a few short moments before I returned my gaze back to his own.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

You brushed me, and the soft scent of your perfume caused me to inhale deeply. I remembered my question from earlier... would I get to know your name before we kissed. The answer would be... yes I am a gentleman. Thank you, I said, warmly. It's really wonderful to have you here. I looked at you shyly. I don't believe I know your name I am Kevin. I wait a moment for your response rather than a handshake, I decide I will give you a kiss, on the cheek, as you share your name with me.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

Thank you for having me... I gave a soft, warm smile as I had listened to your words. I felt the blush still on my cheeks, feeling your lips on my cheek as you introduced yourself to me. I-I'm Michelle. I had stuttered with my words, not at all meaning to, still feeling a bit of nerves from the encounter. Are you staying in Pittsburgh long...? I had questioned you about it. Though didn't care much for the answer, as I had leaned forward placing my lips onto your cheek. My hands had also slid forward, my arms sliding around your torso in a light hug. My gaze leaving yours for just a few moments to look towards the bed at the other end of the room.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

Three nights.... three nights is all, I answered. Your hands reached for my torso, at the same time mine reached for your shoulders. Your kiss on my cheek took my breath away. Involuntarily my tongue touched to my lips before I leaned slighty, glancing at your lips. May I... kiss you? I asked tentatively.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

Three nights...? It sounded like such a short amount of time, and possibly only one of those nights could be spent together. Slowly my breathing began to quicken, my chest rising and falling with each breath I took. My hands moved to rest at the small of your back, my head raised and tilted slightly as I met with your gaze. My eyes lowering to look towards your lips as I listen to your request. Please... I muttered out to you, my eyes beginning to slide closed. Only just meeting you, and already wanting to feel so much of your touch.
Thread: The Renaissance Encounter

Our lips met, my hands trailing down your arms. All I know is your lovely name, and that I want to enjoy every part of you for as long as I have you this evening. As our tongues collide, my hands reach for your ass, pulling you closer. Your pelvis touches against me. I wonder if you can feel my hardness as it starts to develop.
