Downtime
 

All -

The downtime this morning was caused by an unexpected extreme spike in network traffic resulting in the host temporarily disabling our connection. Everything is taken care of now and we are back in action, I apologize for the inconvenience!

MYSQL ran out of memory for some reason. I have a huge swap file on the server so we're ending up with a lot of loss here, and I will be doing some maintenance in the coming days, so there may be short periods of downtime as a result. Sorry for the inconvenience all. Growing pains...

I've been getting about 80 emails a day from the forums/SQL server stating that people can't connect so I modified the configuration to allow for more connections overall. Sorry, this is the last downtime we should experience for a while.

It appears that this actually worked - not a single one error email received from the server since!

Le shocke. (French is easy just put an e at the end of everything that sounds like it could be said with a french accent.)

(If you want to speak spanish replace the e with an o.)

El shocko.

Admittedly, sounds kinda like a Luchador...

Or a dirty sexual act.

...

Or a porn star.

Point goes to Krylo for absolute truth.

Planned downtime around 6:30 EST for 15 minutes or so while I do a little server-side maintenance and housecleaning to try and resolve a few SQL issues we've been experiencing elsewhere on the machine.

It came and went as easily as can be reasonably expected. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Well, actually, we were all raging horribly and not at all patient, but unable to post our feelings of thinly veiled hostility and contempt.

Edit: Y'know. Because the forums were down.

I'm perfectly able!
