Mozillazine shutdown

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

Unfortunatly, the site is shutdown because they cant affort the 4000 USD they need for the server to run their forum.. Mozillazine is the forum for FireFox, ThunderBird and Mozilla suite.

Sad news since there is a new FireFox.

they are looking for some generous donators....

so in ur mind when they said have u donated yet it means they are out of money? LOL u freak its the LOAD!!! not the money, the money is just for new servers:P tsk tsk

[nazgul]

Err... they post that message all the time. They'll be back up in a day or two, this happens everytime a new version of Firefox comes out because they get so hammered.

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

Correct me if I'm wrong but most of ppl download special builts from other guys and these builts are on other servers.. So the download stuff bandwitdth is not on this server...

You don't realize how much stress forum software puts on a server.

explain me because no I don't :(

A forum is text for me and no huge file to download...

[jack_canada]

they should charge some money for more service of their software and still keep the softwaer themselves free

Well it is text, along with graphics ( the buttons and stuff ) Now think of it like this, everytime you view the forums, it has to come up with all that. It may not be much if only one person is viewing it at a time, but the Mozillazine site and forums were hammered when Firefox and Thunderbird come out. A lot of people grabbing a little bit of data each is the same as one person grabbing a huge download

when you start running a website for your self......... you will be thinking where the hell did i get all this traffic...........

It has little to do with the content that comes to you, it's the amount of work that must be done to generate that page. There's a fair complex script running that forum and it needs a lot of horsepower to run.

[nuka_t]

if u visit a forum often and u have cacheing enabled (which people visiting a browser forum should know how to do)then u would only download the pics and buttons once leaving just the text.

Just because mozillazine is down doesnt mean there wont be any optimized builds.

Yes, but your post stated they were shutdown because of money problems. Also, there must have only been a small period of time where they were not there, since I spent most of the day visiting.

His FireFox build was up yesterday ~10am PST. You just gotta scroll down to it :p

[john smith 1924 Veteran]

they aren't actually closing down are they - its not shut down either.

They want some more money to move onto a new server, and are accepting new donations to do this. I have no doubt that they will probably meet their targets; if that doesn't work i imagine the site will be absorbed by the mozilla group = thus no more problem.

Forgive me for being stupid, Are there any Intel P4 specific builds?

Anything thats SSE2 optimized is built with P4s in mind.
