Unscheduled server maintenance

[Scutter01]

In case you haven't noticed, we're working on some server issues this evening to try to eliminate the slowdowns. Site may go offline for a few minutes at a time. Please try again in a little while if you can't get on.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update.
I've been accusing the wife about messin with my stuff while I was out.

Thanks for all the work you put into the site. Whenever I see your new(er) avatar, I'm always reminded of this oldie. Was going to pass it along after two or three or more got the hammer, but thought you might not be in the best of moods at the time. Hope you get a kick out of it. Fast forward to 00:48 to skip the intro and get to the lyrics.

Switching over to the NSA servers, good call

Thanks I thought it was just me.

Just an update: We're still doing board optimizations today so you may still see weirdness. Can you believe that we've almost outgrown our server again?! It's looking like we'll soon need to move to a bigger server for the third time since we started!

For a few minutes last night, I really did think it might have been something I did.

Fabricating imaginary posts from non-existant members is right up there with dividing by zero.

You'll probably see us go offline again today as we switch web server software to something that doesn't suck. Performance will increase significantly and it should eliminate the 503's. That said, we're almost at the limit of what our current server can do.

I assume you are running Apache?

Not for much longer.

Still complaining about that Jeep Compass?

At least he always knew what direction he was going...

Downhill... like the jokes in this thread.



I will now shoot the drummer for encouraging such frivolity.

I also thought it was something you did. Does this server move thing mean it wasn't? I don't think I'm falling for that. I'm sure it was something you did.

Well that was interesting.....
