I have disabled downloading of compressed demos, ironically to save space on the server, as I may be switching hosting providers in the next few months. You can still download demos in .dm2 format.

I was very surprised to see uploads as recently as this month, it's nice that people still use it

As of today, banterous is no longer accepting new uploads.

I am consolidating all my servers and hosting setups with one provider, and attempting to reduce their overall storage and maintenance requirements. Banterous will remain as a read-only site with the existing demos available for download after the change in provider.

Thank you to everyone who used the site in the last however many years, I hope it was helpful.

If anybody is interested in maintaining the website and opening it back up on their own hosting, please get in contact.

Thank you for hosting it for so long, it has been helpful

Storage requirements growing too much, I assume?

mRokita · « **Reply #45 on:** November 06, 2015, 11:59:41 AM »

I can host it on my VPS, it's just 1.7GB of data, yeah?
I can even rewrite it if you want me to do so.

Not really, just old PHP code I don't want to audit or really maintain any more. Left uni and don't have much free time any more, trying to make everything stay secure and run itself

Thanks for renewing the domain, by the way. Hopefully you would be willing to transfer that to whoever ends up with it next?

1.7GB of data (but with some easy PHP work you should be able to store them gzipped and halve that), some old PHP code and a 15mb MySQL database.

I've got a couple of offers through PM. I'd be happiest handing it over to somebody who would actually improve it, and even better if those who had offered were going to collaborate. There's some old code there that never got finished for doing some analysis on BSP files, and generating HUD numbers, so maybe you could finally make one site with a combined map/demo database that will last DP until it finally dies? Or gets big again

Anyway, I'd love to hear what you'd all want to do with it in the thread, would be great to see some collaborative development around this game again. Otherwise it's probably going to ic3y, just because I've known him the longest and he's still around and hosting dp2 content.

So let ic3y do it, I'm not going to mess with PHP because I prefer Python + flask.
I can rewrite it though.

Of course. Hopefully they're in the US so I can actually transfer it to them.

Iam not good in upgrade some php source. But I think that a collaborative development would be a nice idea.

So where can I access the demos now? The sight is down not only for uploads, but for downloads as well? What a shame...

ViciouZ · « **Reply #51 on:** December 30, 2015, 12:38:30 PM »

Ugh, my hosting provider are being really, really awkward. I'll sort it when I have time and send the files to ic3y
