Minecraft Middle Earth is a Minecraft community that recreates the world described by JRR Tolkien and his writings. Everyone can participate in organized events in which we collaborate to create major landmarks, terrain, caves, castles, towns, farms and more.

Minecraft servers are still good as they run on different servers c:I suppose the best we can do is brush ourselves off and start over :/
To be clear, only the website was affected? The Minecraft servers are still good?
The Valar have turned against us! They are mad at us for trying to recreate their world!I don't believe in any god, but I think that some higher power just hates MCME forums >.<
It's a good thing he's keeping us updated, informing the community of what happened and the reasons why it happened in order to avoid confusion, which is obviously the reason why people liked his post.Why have people liked q220's post at the start, it is not a good thing...
There's no need to ban all non-mcme related posts. At the end of the day, this is still a public forum, anyone can come here and join for free to join the conversations. I'm sure you can summon enough self-restraint to resist browsing the funny pictures and videos thread.Perhaps there should be a ban on anything not related to MCME for now, until we can get all the legitimately important back? I should be spending time re-writing my resource-pack descriptions, instead of wasting time looking at funny images. =p
Well Done!Some extra measures have been activated to prevent the spambots, registration has been updated, and now I'm working on getting the permissions set up as they should be.
Really phe? My first reaction was "the HD became fully sentient and kicked us out"
On a serious note though, that is a good point that we might want to limit those a bit just so we dont run into the same problem again..
Sit back down fire, before you accidentally crash the server again!So moral of the story whoever posted the last gif on the last forums broke the server, gg @devilius
My assumption is that the various images and videos are not actually stored/cached on our servers, merely the links to them, which, when loaded in the html of the page, load from their respective sources.
EDIT: Here is the source for the first post in Funny Pictures. Notice that the image is not 'embedded' in that it is stored on our servers. It still points to the original source, and is thus not taking up any space (more than the characters in the url).
except for the newly introduced media section :3 Maybe that had something to do with it, although as far as I'm aware there weren't a huge amount of pictures uploaded.That is correct, posting images with the image button in the toolbar merely hotlinks to an external website. There are very few images being actually hosted on this website, since you need to be able to upload files to it, which is something normal users can't do.
I was always impressed with the speed of the site, and suspected this was the case. Kudos on best practices. We can speculate all we like, but it seems that the issue almost assuredly was not a result of our site, at least not directly. The whole situation smells a bit too fishy for my taste, but what can we do...I actually employ serious caching methods to the website in order to reduce cpu load and hard drive io to try and deliver the best performance possible. Even images that are publicly visible are still hosted, but due to CloudFlare caching, images will actually be served through CloudFlare and not the website.
