Hi gents,

I am coming back to CC after being away for awhile. yesterday the CC Series website was working. Now its offline/ Did it move to another address?

Perhaps you all can help me decide on which CC game i should purchase for Online Gaming. I have Panthers in the Fog but very little online action. Am i missing something to play online?

There is a problem with one of the scripts going awry and hogging up all the server resources so its offline for the moment. I am working on it. If you want to download mods, you can still login via FTP and download all you want.

The FTP address is: is ftp.closecombatseries.net username ccmods@closecombatseries.org and the password is A6WChQddXMm5rpd7

Thanks for the info Mooxe.

I was worried it was gone.
Hard for me to make it through the day without checking your site 5,10,15 times a day.

It's like not having coffee in the morning if you know what I mean.

Dear Players,

CCS is once again offline. This is due to the website taking up too much CPU power on a shared server. Once the website passed a certain threshhold, the host disabled the site for the health of the server. This happened a few other times in January and February which I thought I fixed.

The problem is definetly not too many Close Combat players accessing the site. The site is routinely scanned, let me rephrase, bombarded by scripts. These scripts check for vulnerabilities in the website software. The bombardment is heavy enough to lag the eight core CPU. This website's software is unable to properly deal with those requests.

I am searching for a new host for CCS currently. It it pretty frustrating to be in this position because operating the technical aspects of a website are no longer my hobby. I will be moving back to a dedicated platform which will be more expensive. CCS will be down for an extended period this time while I search for the new right home for the website, that the right price. I apologize for the downtime and inconvienence to you all.

MOOXE

I can access it at work but not at home, no idea why that is, but it's been like this for the last couple of days.

EDIT: Now can't access at all. Anyone know what's up?
