It's possible that it's the effect of loading all the smileys. I just tried to load them and had no issue what-so-ever. I am using Firefox 4 Beta.

What browser are you using?

The first question is, do you hear Jimi Hendrix?

I was actually suggesting that -you- might want to consider praying. I mean, it's a longshot but maybe that will help deflect some of my wrath.

miss entycing · 04-11-2011, 05:13 PM

just have a quick question please?
if you have a thread, but want to close it down, can it be deleted?
curious.
thanks, and have a good one!

Ok yesterday and today, I was here, then poof site gone for 45 minutes to an hour.

I was having flashbacks to that scene in "Airplane" where Johnny unplugged
the air traffic controllers monitors as a joke.

So, who is pulling the plug?

Hey Kobi -

We actually have a couple of things happening right now. Yesterday, our site was down for a bit because our hosting company had a systemwide outage due to various issues.
I posted a thread about it on the front page but basically what happened was that Media Temple had an issue large enough to cause not only our site to lose service, but literally hundreds of sites.

This morning, we had a different issue arise. We hit a memory limit on our site usage which caused our operating component to shut down. This is both a good and bad thing. Good because it means that the site is growing and is evidence that more and more folks are using the site every day. Bad because it means we are going to have to upgrade our memory in order to accommodate our increase in traffic.

I'll be posting more about this issue once I speak to Linus.

Thanks!

Medusa,

Thanks for the update. I have no idea what you said but something
about a woman talking techy makes me feel warm and tingly.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Jack says the same thing! (and I feel the same when she starts going on about welding/construction talk)

Linus · 04-21-2011, 10:15 AM

I suspect the memory issue is a side-effect of the network attack against the provider yesterday.

Heck yeah - And I saw on the wire this morning that Amazon cloud was hit as well!!

Linus · 04-21-2011, 10:42 AM

Hrmm.. be interesting to find out who was the source of this. It's a bit old school to use DDOS attacks these days to bring someone down. The last time that this kind of stuf was done was when Mafia Boy did it against a variety of sites, effectively knocking them out for 12+ hours.

ETA: I checked. Amazon's was due to their own error. Something happened to their storage in the backend.

I may or may not have stared at the computer glassy- eyed with this explanation....

I may or may not have forgotten entirely what I was thinking previously to reading this.

I may or may not have almost drooled with the techie talk.

I may or may not be in big trouble with MBE now...

Linus · 04-21-2011, 01:26 PM

And our provider wasn't the only one hit: http://news.google.com/news/more?pz=...l-RndOELkF-BRM

You know you are addicted to a site when you are at work texting your Daddy and other friends trying to figure out if its you or the site

Glad you are back up and running!

And yes sweet Daddy, you were staring glassy eyed and someone else had to tell me it wasnt me.. lol...

Gemme · 04-22-2011, 01:25 PM

Is the 'ignore thread' feature new or am I especially non-observant lately?

I think it's a great idea, especially for triggering and controversial threads, whether it's new or not.

It is new but hasn't been officially announced since there are a couple of bugs we need to address before saying it's good to go. You can try it but I believe on the front page you may still see threads you've ignored.
