I’m suspending the Pinoy Top Blogs project indefinitely. The total number of blogs (2,283) it currently tracks is already too high that it crashes the server almost everyday. That’s the reason I also stopped approving additional registrations there.
I’m already spending $200 a month for the dedicated (with almost no income, well if you consider $6/month from Adsense an income) server. The rig is an AMD Opteron 246 (2×2.0GHz) with 2GB of RAM. An additional 2GB of memory will cost me a $600 (one-time) and hopefully that would solve the current server crisis. So, unless I could get a sponsor or an advertiser for that site which will cover the amount for the upgrade, I’m shutting it down indefinitely.
If you think you have a spare server that can carry the load (preferrably dual Xeon or Dual Opteron with 4GB of RAM) and would like to help out continue the project, I’ll be glad to offload the site to you. 
P.S.
And no, I don’t think DH or MT will host this site for spare change.
i dont get it why my blogsite is still suspended at this time…

Hi,
My impression of PBS is that it’s a portal for bloggers, not a blog.
Why not promote your blogsite via your profile, creating a bloggers group and blog about your blog site on my website. It has international audience, and hopefullu your site will be visited. You can create the link to your site via the blog you’ll write. That’s all, I just thought it’s one way of helping out my fellow pinoys but obviously it’s undeniably one way of building up my members list on my site.
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.
