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.
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 think among other who measure the Pinoy Top Blogs.. It is in PTB which is very hard to get on Top that only means Pinoy Top Blogs has a community of Bloggers. So How sad it’s going down… Hello calling advertisers why don’t you share..

Now we know why metrics sites like Performancing have trouble…
Hi Yuga – Luddite that I am, I have no technical solution for you alas. But if you decide to accept donations or registration fees from bloggers, count me in. I’d be more than happy to help out.

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.
It’s back up! hurray! Does that mean the problem has been solved?
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.
It’s up na? My site is still suspended.
