Pinoy Blog Machine (Beta)

Just this morning, the administrators of PinoyBlogosphere.com has announced that their widely successful Pinoy Blog ranking system found at Ranking.PinoyBlogosphere.com will be shutting down soon.

The administrators were forced to make the decision of shutting it down after receiving a letter from their webhost that Topsites (and any other similar softwares) are not allowed to be run on their servers because it causes huge amount of loads that stresses their servers.

This explains the sudden malfunction of the PinoyBlogosphere badges that shows the ranking of blogs. Yesterday, my badge showed a ranking of 80+ something. Now it only shows two cute little faces which normally signifies that your blog is ranked more than a 100.

A similar Pinoy blog topsite, PinoyTopBlogs.com, also made a decision of shutting down their topsite after experiencing continuous server crashes on their own servers almost everyday. The said topsite is now changing hands to accommodate the overwhelming number of Pinoy blogs that register each day.

I hope PinoyBlogosphere.com finds a way to fix this problem. They could look for a new webhost or something. Such a great thing should never go to waste.
