  • Site Issues and one other thing

    The server suffered a stoppage today. GBM managed to get things working again, and we're investigating causes at the moment. Probably just a process going rogue, but we're trying to work out what it is.

    The other thing is that we're going to go a little easier on one aspect of moderation. We usually have a rule that race etc doesn't get mentioned unless it's relevant to the tale. After a bit of a discussion, we're going to trial not worrying about this too much as long as such mentions are only used for description. If something looks like it's got racist undertones, we'll deal with it, so please feel free to report any mentions of race that aren't just setting the scene.

    Let common sense rule, and we should do fine.

    I was concerned about not being able to reach the site earlier, but I assumed the issue was with my computer, because I was having similar issues with other sites (but they weren't as bad).

    I'm glad to know we're back to...normal?

        May need to reboot in the near future. As a side note, we've limited the search function to every minute to see if that helps.

          I kinda guessed it was something with a process going crazy due to the server being able to be pinged.

              Turns out to be something to do with being linked on one of the popular linking sites out there. My word, but I'm glad we're on unlimited bandwidth...

              We're still busier than normal, but the worst is (we think) over.

              Don't worry about it.

                I couldn't get on this morning.



                Glad it's all better now. XD I was having withdrawal symptoms. O_o

                      We got linked by reddit.com.

                      I'd like to request that members here don't stir things up there - I don't want the server to suffer again!

                        We went through nearly 20Gb of bandwidth this week - usually around the 12-15Gb mark. Considering that most of what we send is text, that's a fair amount.

                          Some rogue processes going on, folks. Not sure what's happening this time, but working on it.

                              I'm glad you guys caught it! Good luck with the possible rogue.
