Hi folks.
Yep, we were down for more than 24 hours. Truth is I'm not sure if we're stable yet, but I'm going to have to go do some scary database stuff, so wish me luck! I also have to remove old threads.
Kind of funny, though, to watch my inbox. Here's an approximation of what it looked like:
Jenna, is the forum down or it it just me?
(2 hours later)
I'm worried... has someone hacked into the forums?
(2 hours later)
Um, have I been banned? I don't think I would have been, but I can't get in and thought I'd check.
(2 hours later)
Look, I know I used a swear word in my last post, but it wasn't even one of the really dirty ones. Did you have to ban me for it? This isn't fair!
(2 hours later, it has progressed to actual frantic phone calls)
Did someone on the Bewares Board attack your server?
(2 hours later)
Uh, what about the Idol contest?
Never fear, folks. We just blew the server's mind because we're so darn huge and popular. I'm going to work on some housekeeping and see if we can get stable... if we go down again, it's probably my fault.
