Please don't post my paypal link. I got a lot of blow back from paypal for that. If you want to donate we can talk about other options. Maybe crypto currency. You can contact me via PM. I am hoping the new servers have been stable. less 500 errors? From what i can see things should be much better,

OK schema changes are complete. Shouldn't be anymore downtime. Sorry Again.

I am doing some DB schema changes, this is causing the outages. It will be done shortly. Sorry for the interuption. This rough period will result in big moves forward for LiNK and our systems.

OK Forum has been moved as well. We should be good now.

OK i ended up updating the DNS as the IP failover was taking a while. SO whenever your DNS updates it should be done.

OK verification is done. Waiting for IP to move over.

Taking longer than expected. No issue, just a long time to validate all the files moved over. I am hoping it will be shortly.

Upgrade is beginning now.

Well i am just a guy, and i pay for all these services. I do get some ad revenue to offset, but i can't necessarily afford the best servers and to scale as a big company would. So yes upgrades happen in spurts when i have time and money. Hopefully this one will make a big enough impact to be stable for a while

Good Day, I am going to be doing some site upgrades over the next week or so. Starting with Xboxunity.net (Which includes LiNK). I am going to migrate it to a new server starting Monday January 29th around 6:30 - 7:30 AM CST to start. To do the migration i will have to backup and restore the DB to the new server and do a sync for any new files that were created since my first migration to get it setup. This will likely take 1-2 hours. Afterwords we should find link for more stable and be able to manage more users online at a time, Or that's the hope. Once that is done, i will be moving this forum as well as all other web services provided by Phoenix.

Maintenance is complete. The forums are now on the new server. Hopefully its more stable.

I will be moving the site to a new server sometime in the next few days. I am thinking likely tomorrow. When i do that i will have to shut down the server long enough to do a backup and migration. It shouldn't take long, however i wanted people to know it will go offline for a bit when i do it. The IP should stay the same, so the migration should be seamless other than the aforementioned downtime.

We wanted to reach out to you in hopes you would help support us. Blackwolf and myself are currently entered in a VRJam contest for a virtual reality theater we wrote. I am hoping you guys could help us out by going to our jam entry and voting for us, or rating us (5 stars would be awesome). http://itch.io/jam/leapmotion3djam/rate/42922 I have a blurb on what is below and here is a video of it in action. Here is a quick word about it : VRTheatre is a Virtual Reality media player application powered by VLC. It allows the user to watch videos in a variety of simulated VR environments. VRT currently supports the Oculus DK2 and Leap Motion Controller as well as Gamepad or Keyboard and mouse for control. Features: -Playback engine powered by VLC. Supports most formats supported by VLC. -Direct video device display support (allows things like webcams, capture cards etc to be displayed -Multiple movie watching locations (asteroid, island, void, etc) -AR modes (Leap Motion Required) -Dynamically generatable and movable display mode (Matrix mode) -Multiple supported control types: Leap Motion (Recommended) Gamepad, Keyboard and Mouse. You will notice a large blue orb on your wrist, this is the control panel activator.​ To open the Leap Motion control panel, place your right palm on your left wrist on the activator orb and hold for 1-2 secs (as if you were placing your hand to cover an invisible watch). This will spawn the control panel tablet in your view. Press and hold the activator orb again to close the panel. You can also close the panel by pressing and holding the circular button on the bottom center of the panel. NOTE: Requires Oculus Runtime 0.8.0 or higher

To answer a few more things. 1) Rating was removed due to excessive abuse, it didn't work and people were getting temp bans for nothing 2) xDragonxLukyx or whatever, you need to work on tone. I didn't even read the last post, due to caps and other word choice in the begining. I found it offensive without even reading it. I often have the same issue with how i type, but yeah thought i would let you know. 3) We won't be controlling rooms by ping. Period. 4) As for leader, when a new leader is set, he has leader until he leaves at which point the original room leader has priority then it goes to who was in the room longest. I thought about shutting it down as it gets exploited and hacked a lot, i don't have a lot of time, and its a lot of work. I don't make money its a lot of work, and fun sometimes, but its not a job, and sometimes it feels like it.

I am going to try to answer what i can reasonably, and hopefully help with some of this. First things, Blocked does not actually block someone, due to the complexity of when in the room and owner vs everyone and so on, its hard to block people. It does lower the rooms they are in down the list on the HUD to avoid the conflict. Second, Pinging each other to get results is not only difficult to implement with limited memory spaces, but also unlikely to result in much usable info and add massive slow downs on join, tyring to ping 8, 10, 15 people before you join a room is slow. Finally smaller rooms could be possible, but why not just add a password and share with your friends? Or if you are owner kick people you don't want in your room. One more thing, I will NOT be releasing a full list of users for you to make a blacklist, just cause you have a bad connection to them doesn't mean i do, or swizzy does. Thats a self centered solution and not whats best for the community. There is a lot of limitations with Link as we are doing a virtual network for system link, and we have VERY tight memory limitations to work with in the plugin. It is not xbox live, it never will be. And finally the complaint about not enough devs. This is a HOBBY platform we share with you for FREE. we make no money on this, and spend a LOT of time on it. So yes things take longer, but thats how HOBBY and HACK solutions are. We do NOT have time to answer all user requests and ideas, as we have lives and other paying jobs. To be honest, you should be glad its still running as twice this year i came close to shutting it down completely.
