Database error

[AlienWebguy]

Sorry for the db hiccup tonight. Server got overloaded. Don't forget this server also hosts a shit ton of other sites like Club540.com, Dragonforce.com, and some other high-traffic pages, so if you're thinking about posting something moderately funny which offers zero contribution to the forums, go do something else instead and save the server some stress.

Thanks~

[AlienWebguy]

You use that?

Occasionally at 3 in the morning while listening to music, yes.

I feel this contributes to the forums.

sean, why do you feel the need to come on here and start a (pretty) pointless thread that people like juji only should, although he never would because its unnecessary.

im sure you can tell from the replies in this thread that people dont really care, or appreciate it.

to clarify, i'm just curious haha. Perhaps you're just bored

maybe he feels he should let people know why there was downtime if they are curious, and he is the one that hosts the site, so he knows the reason for the problem and would do the work to fix it, juji may not have even realised there was any downtime at all.

and also the thing is sean probably does relatively the same thing on his other sites as they are probably interested too, obviously he has contracts or whatever for other websites, so they will probably be of a higher importance to him.

but hey, i'm just stating the blatantly obvious here.

simon is correct, whilst he also enjoys flight.

TT gets over 35,000 page views per day on average. I've been procrastinating on that server upgrade cuz it'll bump me up to a $140/month responsibility and I don't charge hosting fees for any site on my server. Juji is kind enough to send me random blurps of money every couple months, sometimes $80, sometimes $0.34 (no joke), but with a new baby at home I'm super hesitant to spend anymore than I absolutely have to on things. That and the new server will have a new IP which is just gonna be a clusterfuck of shit to deal with in the sense that a lot of my older code will probably break... I'm only assuming the worst, who knows.

Anyway whatever, no worries either way, it was only a couple hours.
