January 2005 Outage

MyChub.ORG had been down from 28th - 31st January 2005. The reason for this outage is that we had overlimit our 30GB bandwidth quota for this month. This shows that mychub has become enormously popular and more and more popular are beginning to frequent our site.

However, due to the bandwidth limiting factor, we had to plan a more optimized site and also find ways to increase the bandwith and sustain the site.

Suggested methods to sustain the site includes:-
1) Finding more corporate / individual sponsors to pay for the extra bandwidth
2) Buying a better hosting package from Fivio.
3) Introducing a paid segment to certain portions of the site.
4) Merchandising MyChub

PHP Mail System Bug

The last few days, we had found some problems with the PHP Mail system which authenticates the user's e-mail. This bug was found to be the incompatibility of the new PHP 4.3.10 and the new Xamian Mail Safe feature that we are currently testing.

Rest assured that this bug had been fixed and our system are running smoothly as ever. Thanks to our fellow webteam that helped us identify and tracked down the bug before it runs in the wild.
