Bandwidth Exceeded?

[CorSec]

Are we exceeding the bandwidth on the new host now, too?

I am seeing OP9 go down for a couple of minutes at a time, with a host not reachable from my proxy server which is on a T1.

Maybe Az should make Gaijin Smash t-shirts, and sell them to buy some more powerful hosting. Although, I don't think Az wants to make this into a business.

[Deadhead]

I havent noticed anything.

PS. Star Wars fan?

[baslisks]

I loved killing corsec in swg. They ehated me. Go smuggler!!!!

[CorSec]

Actually, I have been using the screen name CorSec since 1998 or so, which predates Star Wars Galaxies by quite a few years.

(It is from the Star Wars books. Yeah, I read them)

[baslisks]

Yeah I know but that just triggered a memory of boredom. I loved lastditch and weak little npcs.

The current servers are undergoing maintainance, which I was warned, may result in some brief blackouts here and there. Should only be temporary.

There shouldn't be any bandwidth problems on this new server.

And I have to hold off on t-shirts because of possible legality issues, especially concerning the phrase "Gaijin Smash".

[baslisks]

who would copy right the term gaijin smash?

[Azrael]

I don't really want to explain at present.

All I'll say is that that particular phrase might be used for something other than t-shirts.

japanese gaijin super smash bros cosplay porn?

[Tssss..]

lmfao........wow. i might have a perverted mind, but i'm still gonna assume you mean what i'm thinking.

[baslisks]

hmmm. the possibilities are abound. Hmmm maybe you could do a drink brand and use the mj juice from one of your stories.

You cannot copyright something like a title- "Gaijin Smash" is too short for copyright. You COULD trademark it. The only trademark issue I found (registration-wise) is someone using "Gaijin Games" but they have abandoned their use:

There are certain common law rights that attach to the use of trademarks, but when they describe two different things, like a band and a story, there is no conflict. Think "Delta faucets" and "Delta Airlines." The two coexist peacefully.

I can find out about the Japanese trademark system, but I think it's pretty similar...

Anyway, if you have any intellectual property questions, feel free to PM me...

[Azrael]

Er, well....I may be using "Gaijin Smash" for something else, and I wouldn't want it's use on t-shirts getting in the way of that.

[erbiumfiber]

Ah, 'nuff said.

Do I smell a book in the wings? If I don't, it might be something that you should consider. Mil Millington turned his internet ramblings into a few successful book deals, you may be able to head down the same route.

Ok, that makes sense, from what I saw. When OP9 was unreachable, the DNS server was also down, which doesn't make sense for bandwidth exceeded, but it does make sense with network maintenance.

I think Az is making a Japanese porno with himself as the star.

Wow. You're such a tease.

[Azrael]

Well, I just don't like sayinig too much too soon.

I can be an awful tease though. :P

[Praetorian]

Yeah, now you're being a general awful tease.

*trembles with anticipation*
