Downtime Explanation
by Smigit on April 16, 2007
Ok we had some downtime again. The reason was we were moved by out host due to the fact we were causing abnormally high traffic which was causing negative results on the server for other users. We were told it was out database that was the issue.
Just now, about two days on, I've been told that the issue was related to the shout box's on blogs. These have been an ongoing battle with spam and so for the meantime I have renamed the table for the shout box. A side effect is blogs themselves likely will not work. I'll try to get into the code at a later date and delete any references that will allow the table to load, either that or I'll scrap those shitty blogs (and possibly replace them with something better).
Anyway at the moment having the site up is our priority and I'm sure people will live without those shout box's.
