Okay. We should be stable for the night. I'm going to go to bed. I have some more tinkering to do to make the site load faster and a lot more tinkering to make it more stable. It turns out eaccelerator was causing part of the 500 errors. I'll bring down one of the web boxes tommorow and see if I can't work something out, while I do that, it shouldn't interrupt service of the forums.
Oh and ctishman, I wear a large. See you in August
forums seem fast enough to me, as long as they arent hanging once it gets to the middle of the page like the backup forums did then im all good. PA is one of the speediest forums that i have ever visited...

Thanks. That means a lot to me. I spend a lot of time trying to make this place pretty snappy. Anyway, I went ahead and pushed the changes into production. eAccelerator is back on again on all the boxes and web5 has joined his friends serving webpages to the masses. Lets see how this fares tommorow. I'm going to bed for real this time.

I know you don't NEED confirmation of their existance at the moment... but yeah, they're back.
Kinda like how they were before the downtime. Not all-consuming, but definitely noticable every few clicks.

Yup. They're back, but down to a trickle instead of the flood like yesterday. And when I'm not getting 500ISEs, the forum is loading super fast. Great work so far, Alpha. Looks like you're in the home stretch. Keep up the great work. That burrito is almost yours. :P
I'm still getting a shit-ton of 500 - Internal Server Errors, but I'm also getting an "Application error (Rails)" message when I try to access this page: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/05/22
Same here. I am guessing these problems are universal and that Alpha is aware of them. Thanks for all of the hard work, Alpha. These are the fastest forums I have ever seen, and wonderfully free of ads and idiots.

Hey Alpha, I know you're working on the new forum software, so I figured I'd throw this out here:
Have you given any thought to including a seperate setup to make the forums more accessible from portable devices? Like a version of the forums optimized for QVGA resolutions?
I know I'd love to see this, and considering that this is a pretty gadget friendly crowd, some other people might find it useful as well.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: I want to maek poast from the pooper and I want you to help me.

I'll be honest; PA is already one of the best boards on the net for mobile browsing, due to its simplistic page views and streamlined, low bandwidth interface. Even if you don't make specific efforts to appease us folks using Pocket IE or other QVGA solutions, please don't make the forums look like the front page of PA.
That's all i guess. Grats on the smooth as gooseshit forums.

Yeah, its really getting bad once again. Often for minutes at a time, and VERY frequently. As I type this message, I got a 500-ISE in the topic review, and am not sure if the post'll get through.
I thought we were running on new, shiny hardware now? Or did you go back to the old stuff again?
Even though it's the same error, apparently it's a whole different problem causing it. So, it's progress, even if it appears to be the same. Give Alpha a few days, and hopefully it won't be a reocurring problem, like it was last time with the RAM.
Looks like the Catholic Church would have fired the Virgin Mary if they had been in business back then.
Hey, if God had sent an angel down to the principal's office that said, "Don't fire the bitch, the big man knocked her up." I am sure he would have given it due consideration.

Man, shut the fuck up. They're working their asses off to fix this shit so you can talk about fuck-all from the safety of your parent's basement. What fucking room do you have to complain about a little downtime?

Hah, my good sir, that is where you are wrong.
I don't live in my parent's basement.
What room do I have? Sir, I have my *own* room. It is luxury. Pure luxury.
Man, if you are gonna insult me, insult the quality of my jokes instead of my whimsical intentions.

My god, that was supposed to have been funny?
Fuck it, you're making a better job of making you look like an ass than I ever could.

Wait what?
It's like I can see you flailing your arms in anger, even though we have never met. I can see a face red with fury, even though it is a face I have never seen.

Application Error (Rails)
Even though it's the same error, apparently it's a whole different problem causing it. So, it's progress, even if it appears to be the same. Give Alpha a few days, and hopefully it won't be a reocurring problem, like it was last time with the RAM.
I need answers!
To think I lost my forum search for this!
What do you want, a refund?
Screw that.
I want bloody vengence.
Also, I would like to feed on the tasty flesh of a moderator. Yes, I will become a cannibal.
My anger could be appeased by an offering of 12 beautiful virgins.
Hey, I wouldn't do anything dirty! Weirdo. I would just cannibalize them.
Hah, my good sir, that is where you are wrong.
