Some people on GFY spoke about Great Convertion of BangBus.

What can you say about it now in the End of December?
Is it still good to start or there was no need to waste time?

Anal Hobbit

dont expect any rebills.

I sugest you join as a member yourself and see how you like the site for yourself.

For the past 3 months images, movies, even the tour pages dont load.

The problem has been declared as "fixed" countless amounts of times, yet shit still wont load.

As a paying member myself, I can not see why anyone would continue to keep thier memberships at this time.

When and if they ever ever ever get this problem fixed, it will be a kick ass program.

But at this time the program is just gunna kick your ass.

Try for yourself and see.

Anal Hobbit

the content kicks ass, and the idea is awsome.

If they got thier pay per signup shit set up, we could make a killing on it.. Getting signups with em would be easy, and let them worry about rebilling.

If they were to start a pay per signup today, they'd be gone in two months. The rebill is that bad.

Until they get the problem fixed its just a bad deal.

optikalz

Most of the signups are trials. But due to recent bandwidth issues, conversions are, at my luckiest days, 30% and lower. Awesome sign ups though...even if trial...

ZapMan

The only problem I have is the grammer on their main page. I havn't looked lately but it was pretty bad for awhile. And for awhile there alot of the links were broken, but like I said I havn't looked in awhile!

Anal Hobbit

Yep. Seems to be the story.

You can get trials no problem. Their shit is great!
But once the surfer joins, they get pissed off cause none of the shit loads in the members area.

Id be suprised if they didnt cancel the first day upon joining.

[Labret]

Hands down the worst members section I have ever seen. Bandwidth comparable to that of a dsl connection at best.

NOTR

The content is sweet (bangbus, realbutts, join 1 receive all 4 type membership) but their bandwith is very bad, broken links. Other than that I love their content.

Its a shame this program can't get its shit together. I signed up weeks ago but will no way send it any traffic until all bugs are fixed. Stuff like daily picture links have never worked and everytime I look at the webmaster area theres a new error appeared.

Great content, kick ass promo material - shit admin.

cck

I saw many many freehosting and tgp movie site . use Bangbus a lots .
I think may be it's work.
I just sign up for iteens.com last 4 day( not from my link code ).
the content is ok and have many plugin.
but iteens have picture gallery not much .

And today i just sign up for sexkey( not from my link code too ) i though that not good
in one site of sexkey they have picture only 2 gallery of worldsex. and some of them are low quality .lucky that it's free , so i cancel account immediatly

It's been a long, exhausting, frustrating and frighteningly expensive few weeks, but we've finally managed to overcome the load on the servers. By the looks of the board a lot of you are wondering what took so long...here's the condensed version of what's been happening..

About 4 weeks ago Bang Bus's bandwidth went from 50-60Mbps to 100Mbps. We were already adding servers so we put the new machines online and the traffic immediately jumped to 200 Mbps. At that point we started upgrading all our hardware to handle 400 Mbps..figuring that doubling what we were using would be sufficent. By the time the new servers arrived we were already doing 350Mbps. The minute the new servers went online it jumped to 630Mbps and eventually peaked at 680Mbps. In case you're wondering just how much that is...none of the hosts we've spoken to (Exodus, Level3, Global Crossing, XO and most of the other major providers) have seen anything like this. We'd been anticipating growth and were acting accordingly, but you really can't anticipate something like this.

As it stands now we have capacity for about 1Gbps and our architecture will scale up to 2Gbps by simply plugging more servers into the clusters. Static content is served by a cluster of nine machines each capable of pushing 100Mbps. The cluster should withstand failures on up to 3 machines simultaneously without noticeable slowdowns. Dynamic content is served by a 3 node cluster with each machine capable of handling the entire load if the other two were to fail for any reason. The database machine is currently the only single point of failure so it's the most powerful machine of the bunch and has built in hot swappable spare hard disks, network adapters, power supplies, and RAID controller. To try and overcome the single point of failure I've been rewriting most of the critical code to try to make everything at least continue to function during database failures. I'll also be adding a dedicated realtime backup server tomorrow that can be temporarily switched on in the event of problems. All the machines are connected to a high end load balancing switch that scales up to 2Gbps. We've got spare parts and machines on hand at Candid in case of problems.

We're working with a company that specializes in streaming video to build a scalable solution to do the Windows Media streaming...the fast forward/rewind/seek functionality. ETA is early January on that...until then the video will continue to stream from the web servers.

All planned upgrade work is now done. I'm sure there are still some oddities left to deal with, but for the most part everything should be working and pretty damn fast. Normal update schedules will be resuming Thursday.

I know the last few weeks have been trying for everyone, but you'll just have to trust me when I say it's been ten times as bad for us;-) Try staying up 48 hours to bring $50k worth of hardware online only to find out the minute you go live your bandwidth jumped another 300Mbps and your sites are still barely crawling along. We're pushing things to a whole new level and it's tough to foresee every obstacle that will arise along the way.

Now for the processors... They're just as fucked up on our end as they are for you guys. We deal with them constantly throughout the day trying to get to the bottom of things and get your problems resolved, but they hold all the cards so when we say "Jump" they say "Go fuck yourself with a rusty spatula". Not in so many words of course, but you get the idea. I'd been planning to be pretty close to completion on our own billing software, but the server nightmare has taken up all my time this month. I'll be picking up on it after Christmas and would say the tentative ETA is mid-February. I'd like to begin beta testing it by mid-January so a few of you braver souls can jump in on that if you just can't stand iBill/CCBill any longer.

That's pretty much it for the moment... I've got ~5000 emails to sort through over the next couple of days so if you've got something urgent call the office during the day or my cell (305-562-0357) after hours.

At this rate, do you think that bangbus will be around for much longer?

Theo

i guess they will, sublime crew runs oxcash and they know how to handle things better than most of us. The idea of bangbus is fucking fantastic and it's not that overpromoted.

Haha... very funny guys. Of course there is nothing I like more than a nice Katoey on Christmas morning. It's fucken freeeeeeezing here! Happy Christmas in the new pad Dopy.

Soul Rebel: please turn on ICQ.

The speed at their sites are pretty okay for now but the updates aren't!
I looked at the newest update at bangbus and nothing worked, it said: "Sorry no pictures yet" and the same for the movies. Most of the streams and/or movies for the update before that doesn't work either... If I would be a surfer I would cancel my membership as soon as possible...

I really hope they get their shit together cause their program would rock if everything worked correctly...

Merry X-mas,

mellow

Theo

you deserve a better future ld, you deserve a refrigerator or a trip to Alaska
