Suspending Pinoy Top Blogs

Whoah! No wonder the button has not been appearing on my blog for a couple of days now.

On the bright side though, it shows just how the growth of the Philippine blogosphere has been, which is great of course!

I hope the project resumes again, or maybe we could organize a drive, campaign or something to find funds or to find sponsors for the project.

Oh snap! *puts on thinking cap* :)

Hi Yuga,

I think I can help. Please contact me via email. :)

if ganyan lang server ko… i’m willing to share resources. kaso.. indi eh. mahal tlga ang dedicated na dual xeon with 4GB ram.

share naman ng script gamit mo sa PTB… sa wordpress ba yan no? indi naba kayang i optimized ang script?

May I suggest self-sufficiency? Bloggers know very well it’s a great way to promote Pinoy blogging in general, as well as individual blogs so …. why not pay to register your blog and pay an annual subscription fee going forward?

..bank account#, i mean.

Sorry to hear this. I wish I could help. If there will be no sponsor or someone who will offer a server, we can do Leo’s suggestion of contributing $1 and I’m some of us can afford more than that, right?

We all benefit from this project so we might as well help. :)

You know what? I think Leo’s idea might just work. Ever heard of Mugglenet.Com? It’s a Harry Potter fan site. The web site had too much load too, like 2,000++ people online at the same time on the average. The guys who ran it asked for the visitor’s help. Ayun. They’re keeping it afloat without any cost at all from their part—yung mga little donations ang bumuhay.

that really sucks.i guess lauren will forever #1.

Abe, sent you an email @ your gmail.

Abe,

What is the current bandwidth utilization of Pinoy top blogs? My concern here is that the bandwidth may be too high.

I can offer to host it and sponsor the 2gb ram as well.

sayang naman. if the offers of hosting don’t materialize, maybe you can start with a paypal donation button. that will make it easier for foreign-based pinoy bloggers to make contributions…

siguro maganda ung suggestion na magbabayad na lang ng registration fee good for one year ang registered members.

$1 is much affordable. Pwede ngang $2 or $3.

I believe the Pinoy Top Blog project is too good a thing for the local blogosphere to just let go. I think the best solution would be to relaunch it and each registrant shall pay one-year subscription pay like say 1$ or 2$. I hope it could be paid thru bank transfer coz I don’t have credit cards. So I hope Yuga is willing to relaunch it later on.

So, if it’s back up now… does this mean that SOMEONE will finally unsuspend my blog? I signed up on Sep. 22, 2006… and since then, I’ve been suspended. :(

Am I not Filipino enough for the Philippine blogosphere? If thoust prick me, do I not bleed adobo? (Ya, that sounded a lot funnier in my head. And a few seconds later, it just sounds lame now.) :p

I guess my dual-citizenship and eligibility to vote doesn’t count.

hmm… my blogs are still suspended though

what should i do for my blog to be activated? it’s been a long long time. shall wait for a miracle? ;)

waaa. i am still suspended… :(

hi bossing. pa activate naman po ng macuha.com, suspended pa rin eh. thanks! :D

http://onlooker-josh.blogspot.com is still suspended.

i noticed that http://www.pinoymoneytalk.com is not anymore in the list? was it banned? why?

Hoping my site will be activated soon, dont see any reason y it is suspended except not yet have the so called “sharing”..but will do later..thanks and Godbless.

i dont get it why my blogsite is still suspended at this time… :(

thanx!!!! im #42 now!!! good work mod!!

well, how about several suggestions like

a. How about further optimization of server process loads and process threads by defining sql threshold queries and restrictions. If certain CPU load or SQL treshold queries are met, automatic temporary denial of access would be displayed to end users, say Come back after a minute or so, load maintenance is currently in effect something like that.

Atleast, this way you can avoid server crashes, system reboots, downtime. Thus prolong server uptime and sql data reliability.

b. How about creating additional swap file space and RAM disk space from your harddisk instead of additional physical RAM to achieve higher swap memory resources and availability. Say 10GB of additional swap file?

Additional swap are handled by linux server almost identically with physical RAM, there’s a bit difference though but it works out right and doesn’t cost you a bit considering you have more disk space left.

c. How about gathering country wide sponsorship like Philippines local TV station or radion station in return for permanent link or 100×100 image from this site. A very nice and polite letter will do just fine address to their CEOs. :) What is P100 peso of donation in one month from all these nationwaide TV and radio broadcasters?

d. How about gathering old phased PII and PIII PCs and creating a clustered and distributed group of old machines providing round-robin load balancing among old phased PCs aimed to serve millions of SQL queries and website request? Old PCs are cheap anyway but can be a supercomputer when clusterically distributed with more old PCs too – sort of mini super computer PTS!

e. Uh, some willing to contribute politicians perhaps? LOL
Imagine a 70,000 hits a day for the upcoming needed “Presidential Electionaryo$” exposure$ is really high for atleast for one month!!! Talk about their pres candidates’ pictures pinned down around this site corners exposed to 70,000 daily viewers! Oh mama, that’s a real wide opener, LOL.

f. How about a 80×80 JPG box for leading Philippine banks?

g. Am not sure about this one in Philippines, but a perma donate link from here to leading Philippine Charity institutions or Philippines cancer donation groups. And for every click on that link, you get 1 peso and the rest goes to Philippines charity institutions. I received one kind of email like that and it was not a spam email as confirmed by my friend overseas located near the email address.

i. Maybe more wishful thinking.

Go up man. You’re doing great for all of us! Keep it up!

Just dropping by.
