That explains the "Server shutdown in progress" message a bit ago. Thanks, sjt.

Rocking again.

We'll do some maintenance shortly (1st of the year) to make the fix we just did permanent - but damn guys you have to stop making us so popular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah - it's kinda scary to see that - it's our MYSQL database that gets overwhelmed, and SMF just displays what it says......server shutdown message and all.

We're going to a private SQL server around the first of the year, to fix this.

Basically some jackface gets excited and starts using up all our cycles - our host, once they know about it is pretty quick to solve this one, a part of shard hosting I'll be glad we're rid of.

I will try to accomodate you. I highly recommend you try your hand in a gunship just to fully test the bandwidth though.

Must pack though, so I will only be able to kill you a few times........

I don't have gunships in my squad.

But I'll be in that fat dragon, distributing justice. Feel free to lock me up, pop out, and fire.

Pop me once....shame on you......Pop me....Pop.....

you won't pop me twice.

Anyone else catch the Night at the Museum reference?

The site was a bit sluggish again a few minutes ago. I thought it was going down again.

Otherwise though, it has been running smoothly today.
