#280587 macbook help please

Posted by duplu on 14 April 2015 - 06:59 AM in Any Topic Chat

Try holding the Command key and then R and P keys together when it boots.  This will clear the PRAM and sometimes works.

 

If this doesn't work then the HDD or the logic board is knackered.

#275973 "Layout Creator" badges

Posted by duplu on 30 November 2014 - 12:44 PM in General FME Discussion

I've set staff banners to "OFF" but they seem to persist...

 

It's either a mod you can uninstall or it's a hook you need to disable - I can't remember, it's been a long time!

#269576 download restriction

Posted by duplu on 18 May 2014 - 02:44 PM in General FME Discussion

It looks like you may have used a download manager and opened up about 10 connections at once to the same file.  There is a 32Mb limit per day but also a number of files limit (can't remember what it is for members) and it is this limit that has been triggered.

#263270 Fruit-Emu is for SALE

Posted by duplu on 31 January 2014 - 09:24 AM in Site News

have you PM messaged duplu?...

 

...to be honest I really don't think he wants to name is price publicly, and I believe earlier in this thread he mentioned using the PM system to find out costs etc - if you are really interested in wanting to purchase the site, then I suggest you do PM him to get to know what costs will be incurred to you personally for the site and domain.

 

Exactly Daryl, I don't want to plaster my asking price all over the front page as you get people saying "It's not worth that" or "It's worth way more than that" etc...  There are currently a few people interested and they all don't appear to have a problem with the asking price.




#263225 Fruit-Emu is for SALE

Posted by duplu on 30 January 2014 - 08:19 AM in Site News

Can you explain how much this places costs to run per month now? Also how\where is the site run from now? A online webhost or something else?

 

Web Hosting etc is not really my strong point, but looking at this below, you could maybe run this place for £10 a month (using the Blue Hosting Package)??

 

 

http://www.ukushosting.com/cart.php

 

It currently costs around $75 a month to host on a Virtual Private Server (VPS).  It has previously been hosted on a dedicated server but the costs are too high.  The site won't run on shared hosting package such as the one you have listed as the resources required would get the site shutdown quite quickly - believe me I tried in the early days and some of you might remember the problems.




#263198 Fruit-Emu is for SALE

Posted by duplu on 29 January 2014 - 09:11 PM in Site News

Yeah I had a few for hosting certain roms and artwork but to be fair most of the time the manufactures turned a blind eye.

 

Exactly, I used to get more for the sims - especially when someone did Barcrest's Elvis.




#263195 Fruit-Emu is for SALE

Posted by duplu on 29 January 2014 - 08:49 PM in Site News

Omg just read this and got a lump in the throat. I'm devastated, sorry to hear you're having to do this. If it's sold to an outsider will it be on the conditions it's kept as an fme site. If you're really selling it or should I say have to would it not be possible for all the members to Chuck in and buy it then let dad or ady take over the running.

 

I wouldn't be able to guarantee the first part as I can't stipulate those conditions.  Yes, the second part is definitely a possibility.


Sorry to hear you can no longer maintain the site, you've built a great community here...  Hope everything works out okay for you and your family :)

 

I might possibly be interested...  However I'd be seriously concerned about hosting copyrighted content.  I know everything here's been in the public domain for a very long time and a lot of the respective companies no longer exist.  It's still a risk though and I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with it.

 

Lol, don't worry I used to collect cease and desist notices from lawyers but haven't had any now for years.




#263190 Fruit-Emu is for SALE

Posted by duplu on 29 January 2014 - 08:24 PM in Site News

Yes, thank you Alan for everything you have done for FME,  I imagine this announcement will come as a bit of a shock to some people who tend to think forums run themselves. 

 

Could anything be done just to host the database and link all downloiads to skydrive or something similar?

 

Unfortunately it's not the hosting costs as the site pays for itself.  I need a bulk sum of money basically to sort out some short term problems whilst my situation is resolved.




#263183 Fruit-Emu is for SALE

Posted by duplu on 29 January 2014 - 07:21 PM in Site News

I'm having to do something that I never thought I would have to do and that is to sell Fruit-Emu.  Things have massively changed in my life over the last 6 months that have meant that I no longer have any time to maintain the site, I can't pay for it anymore and to be honest I need the money.  Moderators and admins for the site have already been given first refusal on the sale and I'm no opening it up to all members.  Ideally I would like the site to go to someone in the FME community as I know it would be looked after but if no-one is interested then it will be sold to a wider audience.
 
In an ideal world I would give the site away but at this stage that isn't an option for me as I've put too much into the site.  I would assist with the transfer of the site to another server/VPS and would be willing to give technical support during any transition.  The site cannot be hosted on a shared hosting platform as it would be shut down pretty quick due to the server resources it uses.  Here are some statistics for the size of the website:
 
Webspace Required for Site
 
Total size of web site = 41Gb
 
Attachments = 19Gb
Downloads = 11.5Gb
Screenshots = 1Gb
Gallery = 4.5Gb
 
Database Size = 484Mb
 
Website Income
 
These figures are for advertising income and for donations combined:
 
Jan 2014   £67
Dec 2013   £112
Nov 2013   £60
Oct 2013   £133
Sep 2013   £96
Aug 2013   £225
Jul 2013   £36
Jun 2013   £51
May 2013   £76
Apr 2013   £57
Mar 2013   £66
Feb 2013   £91
 
There are possibilities to monetise the site further but I've only ever attempted to cover hosting costs.

 

​The sale would include the transfer of all software licences for invision board.
 
If you are interested in making an offer for the site or have any questions then please PM me.  Ideally I need payment via Paypal as I can't have any money going through my bank account at the moment.
 
Alan

#262448 Site Downtime - Saturday 22/02/2014

Posted by duplu on 05 January 2014 - 02:44 PM in Site News

The site is now moved to the new server, however it's going to be a bit slow for a few days until it's upgraded to a much more powerful quad-core model. Apologies for this, will update as soon as I can.
