Server downtime

Posted by Kim on October 16, 2016, 11:42am

Hi all,

Looks like the site experienced a severe crash late last night, brought on by yet another episode of Server hoarding trivia until its brain literally could not handle any more information. This resulted in weird, sputtering up and down times, followed inevitably by going down and staying down. I became aware of it after waking up in the middle of the night and managed to get the site back up temporarily, but it wasn't a total fix and required more detailed work this morning.

The ridiculous trivia hoard has once again been purged, and the symptoms and crashes that resulted from it have been slowly addressed one by one. My tests are showing things running smoothly again. Please do let me know if you see any lingering issues so they can be tackled!

In the meanwhile, thanks so much for your patience. Epic Memberships have been extended so that the downtime didn't count against your expiration dates.

Now back to your regularly scheduled RPs and the October event, Trick or Treat the Forums!

Hey Kim,
Yes, thank you so much! I checked with the others who saw it too, and they also said that it is resolved on their end.

Hey there, I still see this message: "Table 'rp_forumposts' is marked as crashed and should be repaired" Not sure what it means or if it is related. A few friends have the same message.

@SleekJackal Can you please send me a bug report explaining what the "strange" behavior you're seeing is?

Is it just me or are PM chat windows acting strange?
