| Forums are back online.
Thanks to Carenath donating space on his server, the forums are back online. Now, I will preemptively answer some questions. - This wasn't done earlier because I didn't have the data off the old forum server until late, late Sunday night.
- No, we can't use Carenath's server to bring the mainsite up. The main site is about a thousand times larger than the forums. (Both in terms of disk space and bandwidth requirements.)
- We have everything we need to install the servers at the new facility. The only concern now is weather related, but that shouldn't be a problem. (Incidentally, did you know that studded tires are illegal in Maryland? This is highly relevant.)

| [Updated 2009-12-02 02:00 UTC] Oh, and you thought your cable outages were annoying?
Imagine how we feel when our ISP, which supposedly has redundant links, seems to have perennial peering issues. Pretty much the only way you're going to be getting your wholesome, furry goodness *cough* at this point is by throwing a party in the server room. (And I'd imagine that S&D would take issue with that.) tl;dr - ISP's shit's broke. Nothing we can do about it. Patience is a virtue. Etc, etc, etc. PS: I totally just noticed that I haven't done stats in like... two months. Not that I can do it now. Servers are inaccessible. :D Lack of update: 2009-12-01 15:30 UTC (10:30 EST)Well, what can I say. Our ISP is still not talking to us. (And I'm sure anyone who is resourceful can dig up who our ISP is.) Going on 24 hours with no updates. When we know something, we'll post it. We also have no plans to ask for donations for this problem. Because it won't actually solve the problem, in this case. Update: 2009-12-02 02:00 UTC (21:00 EST)(08:48:04 PM) Dragoneer: That the fiber lines were damaged, they're doing emergency repairs. No estimate. | | Monday, September 14th, 2009 | 1:23 pm

| More routing issues. 2009-09-14
We've had reports of people outside the US having trouble accessing the site. This is due to routing issues at an upstream provider. Cages have been rattled. All we can do now is wait. Sorry for the inconvenience. | | Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 | 1:40 pm

Because of the way the active user count works, it's only accurate to do the count right as midnight on the first of the month, which I didn't do. All the other stats are fine, though. | | Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 | 1:19 am

| Forum Outage 2009-06-30/07-01
Forums are out due to MySQL crapping itself. (I/E: Running out of disk space.) They'll be back online sometime in the next hour or two. | | Friday, June 19th, 2009 | 2:50 pm

| Mainsite outage about an hour ago
Originally posted by yak, on the forums... was caused by running out of hard drive space on the database server. The server actually has plenty of storage for it's needs, just that some of that storage was temporarily occupied by database backups and copies for development purposes. After restoring the ads on the mainsite, openx' database began growing in size explosively until eventually it used up what little free space there was on the server. That was actually a very simple, stupid problem and the reason it took so long to fix was because of the completely misleading behavior of the servers. All the time I was thinking the problem was with the application server, and looked for potential problems there. Anyway, the problem was resolved and FA is back online now.

I waited too long...
** Damn it, furries. Stop proving me right.As they say, better late than never...
And I know I've been utterly horrible about posting downtimes here. Real life awesomeness. Most of this months downtime and slowness was due to an update to the ad serving software that completely broke our MySQL optimization. | | Saturday, April 4th, 2009 | 11:58 pm

** Yes, awstats still can't cope with our logs. It's on the "to do" list.
*** Damn it, furries. Stop proving me right.Bah. I suck. That whole "exam" thing I was doing this last week kinda got in my way. On another note: Whenever someone makes a post to the community, I see in my inbox: "Moderated submission notification." And that is all I see before I click the check next to it and head up to the "Archive" button. Because 99.9% of them are "hello" "commissions 4 sale" and "check out my auction." Now, I'm not opposed to posting other things here that fall within the community rules. But please come talk to me about it, or I probably won't even notice. | | Monday, March 2nd, 2009 | 8:03 pm
