A few sites down?
Ok, I've investigated things and made the needed tweaks. I've given the order to re-activate all the sites that are down. So, that should take effect just as soon as they "get" to it which has probably been done already. I've provided a bandwidth cap 4 times more than we had before, but I've set it at a "daily" cap instead of monthly as it was before. The monthly cap was nice as if some asshole member decided to share his password, the daily increase would "not" have much of an impact as our security script would kick in, ban them, and over a period of a month it'd all average out ok. However, while I've set the cap at 4 times what it was before, the fact that I set it at daily means that should some asshole customer decide to be cute and share their password, the sites will probably reach their daily cap and shut down, then that customer will get banned, yet you won't have access to those particular sites until the next day. So, should you find that you can not access a site, try again the next day and of course "do" submit a Site Bug Report so I know as something else might be the problem--never can tell.

A few sites down.
A few sites have just shut down as instructed by one of our security scripts. Traffic is high. This does not effect any of our main sites (any site which has it's own signup page isn't effected or basically any site where you can access directly via DOMAIN NAME.com instead of having to access off the BareGirls.com site). However, we should have these sites back on soon. The bandwidth limit we set for the month has already been reached so we need to investigate and tweak things. We will probably have this done within 24 hours or so.
