Account Deactivation News

[mith]

Sorry about the brief downtime.

Apparently we were deactivated because some MySQL queries are causing problems on the server. They claim it doesn't have to do with the move to box150 (I'm not sure I believe them), but anyway, we'll take a look. I may turn off the search feature for the time being just in case that's part of the problem.

[jeep]

Search feature is definitely part of the problem. Is it off?

-JEEP

[mith]

Not yet.

To everyone else: I am locking the forums until we sort this problem out (so they don't deactivate us again while jeep's taking a look). Hopefully we'll be back up soon.

[mith]

I'll update this more fully later after jeep and I have a chance to monitor the logs for a bit.

All search related features (including the view by user filter) are currently disabled.

Please also make sure to read this thread.

[IH]

Does this include the watched topic feature?

[jeep]

I did turn off watched topics too.

-JEEP

[jeep]

We are getting slow queries still, folks. I'm pretty sure we're going to have to shut down.

-JEEP

[mith]

We're moved (DNS stuff may still be propagating, but if you can see this you're on the new box). I'll turn the forums on for a few hours so we can watch the logs.

Is the "Add to Watched List" link gone, or is it just me?

[mith]

It might have been something jeep turned off. I don't use the watched list myself, so I don't know where it's supposed to be.

I'm encouraged by the logs so far. We aren't up to our normal activity yet obviously, but we're nowhere near the slow queries we were getting.

[IH]

Yeah, I believe they're still turned off. I mean I still have some in my list, but some dissappeared. Like my open 4 and 5 game isn't in there, but all the rest are.

I got problems with the watched list too...

But if that's the price of getting the site back... nobody's going to complain.

Well done on getting the site back guys - and thanks again for all the work so far

[jeep]

Yes, watched topics is still off. I'll slowly re-enable things and get all the fixes in place over the next week.

I'm not even going to try to mess with the new wiki until you tell me we're okay on CPU.... that thing has some major queries.

[mith]

I'm going to chat with them this weekend sometime just to make sure they're not seeing something we're not, but we look fine right now. After I've checked with them I'll poke at the wiki a bit and see if anything shows up in the logs.

~begs for "view all posts by user" to be one of the first options to get re-enabled~

[Coron]

I'm with MeMe on this one.

Thanks Jeep. Indeed you are "the man"

[jeep]

Well, did I break anything?

-JEEP

[IH]

I see watched topics. (praises Jeep)

[LyingBrian]

and it works, as far as i can tell...
