I blame the US government for this and any other shutdown!

Thanks for notifying beforehand, I find it annoying when the forum goes down with no warning.

by **Rocopurr** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 3:18 pm

Will this be just the forums or whole site?

And thanks for the head's up!

by **Bezombia** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 3:19 pm

UPDATE #1: If you get SQL errors about "Too many connections," it's due to backups being done before the downtime starts, which should be approximately within the next half hour.

Forums only- the game server update will be at some point in the future, but not today.

Ah, just happened to me. Was wondering if it was going down a bit earlier than planned.

I blame the Republicans.

Thanks for the warning!

Is there an estimate for how long it'll be down? Or has this been asked and answered and asked again ad nauseum, and I'm overlooking it?

Edit: never mind, I see it now.

NationStates Shutdown.

UPDATE #2: We're back!

Joe Washington wrote:I blame the Republicans.

Oh, come now. If it was the Republicans, the forums would be down for days.

by **Ainin** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 4:54 pm

Just out of curiousity, have there been any visible changes?

by **Regnum Dominae** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 4:54 pm

Is it just me or are the forums much, much faster now?

We've moved to a faster server, but the old one was doing fine, so it wasn't really necessary. It was just a chance to shift to hardware that was both faster and cheaper.

by **Maltropia** » Tue Oct 08, 2013 4:56 pm

Well, that was faster than expected.

EDIT: In fact, the whole forum is faster than expected.

I like the "most active forum" and "most active topic" thing. Is that new, or was it always there?

It was around a while back, but it didn't stay long. Cool to see it back.

Random tech question: if the most active forum is Archives, does it include threads that do not affect the post count (ones moved from F7) or not?

It does not count my F7 posts, but this questioned may be more suitable here.

Hold your horses, I've heard something like that said before. Which probably should maake yooouu woooonnndddeeeeeer wwwhheeether or notsomethingisabouttoghlriuslywrngbecause of some kikikikikikind of ^{wibbley-wobbley} _timey-wimey thing that nobody can foreseeserof nac ydobon tahthat nobody can foresee, but has the initial result that the whole forum is faster than expected. Hold your horses, I've heard something like that said before.
