[quote=johns;691587]whats happened to the download section. went to see if the new kiss mix is up for download and it got all fucked up :([/quote]

I managed to find a Proton rip to tide me over .. although it was at 128kbs.

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

Site was down because the main drive on the server crashed. As tom said, because of the size of the archives and other shit we host, the HD requirements are nearing 500 gb iirc. To setup a raid that big would be my monthly paycheck.

That, mixed in with the fact that is was Holidays + me traveling resulted in a longer than anticipated downtime. Will be back till everything else wobbles back into place.

MCast is now online and so are the archives, the downloads will need a little troubleshooting.

I had no idea we were all so collectively bad. I am happy to see that the board is back up and running and want to thank everyone involved with getting [ms] back up for all of us newbs. I am amazed that in this holiday season anyone has the extra time or money on hand. Thank you so very much.:D

So you're saying that whiling away the hours on here isn't actually constructive ;)

#1140720Post 54 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

Phew...very glad we're up and running again! Thanks Tom and Kamal for all of your hard work. And over the holidaze too. :Cheerz:

#1140903Post 71 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

Just out of curiosity, could the "nonsense thread" have added to the hd failure?

#1140944Post 72 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

no but it probably takes up enough space :lol:

#1140965Post 73 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

as mentioned before, most of the pics in the nonense thread are hotlinked from elsewhere, it doesnt take up as much space as you would think

#1141015Post 74 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

but because of the size of the thread, it would exert way more load on the relevant DB table if more than 3 or 4 users were to click on the link to load it up. especially if people click the link of the "last page" which would be the most taxing on the db

#1141030Post 75 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

then shit can the thread and start over :)

#1141034Post 76 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

[quote=Steve Graham;692015]then shit can the thread and start over :)[/quote]

It'd take days/weeks to work through those pages anyway !

#1141047Post 77 of 97

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)

hehe yeah kill it! :Boom:

just an idea, would it be possible to consolidate the whole thread into a file or program available for download, of course with an incentive and prerequisite? :p

Re: WTF is going on? (i.e. why we were down)
