Dear WLMWebStatus users,
sadly I have to tell you that there is an Excessive usage level on the server where the image generator is currently hosted.

• What happened?
  I have a Special Addendum in my Terms of Use version, allowing to have High usage, but Excessive isn't covered, as it affects other users on the server. Therefore, I was urged to close new user adding as well as to cut the current user base down to some ~18,000 users. Also, the violation of the ToS yesterday by excessive usage brought a $12 fee upon me, additionally to some $30 normal server costs per month.
  
  
• Which users have been suspended?
  
  1. All users who didn't use the script for more than 7 days, and
     
  2. some more 7,400 users who installed the script recently.
• Who is left?
  Everyone who installed the script longer ago, and kept using it in the last 7 days. You can find out if you still can use it by opening wlmstatus.net/status/<yourmail@provider.com>.png. If you get a message saying "WLMWebStatus isn't installed", you have been cut. If you get the normal blue image (style 0), then everything is fine with your account.
  
  
• How to use the Debug Log?
  Go to Messenger Plus! Preferences, then to "General", "Scripts". Activate the checkbox "Enable debugging options", then click "OK". Next, click the Plus! Scripts icon in the contact list's toolbar, and select "Show script debugging". In the select box on the left, choose "WLMWebStatus". Read the messages in there to get a hint.
  
  
• Will the service go offline?
  Hopefully not, at least it isn't supposed. That depends much on the server load in the next days.
  
  
• How can I help WLMWebStatus?
  
  1. Don't use countdown scripts that change your PSM too frequently. Once every 1-2 minutes should be ok.
     
  2. If you like WLMWebStatus, consider donating using the entry in the Script Menu.
• I am a PHP programmer and used to speed up existing scripts. Can I help you?
  Feel free to tell me some details about you here, and be sure to leave your messenger id.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post in here, and be sure that I will read all posts asap.
