Server crash - pruning limit changes
Posted: Oct 11th, '09, 04:05
Hi everyone,
I guess some noticed the database server crashed on me again, unfortunately a table got corrupted and it took quite a while to restore the service. The server just couldn't handle the rush after we announced the event...
Acquiring additional dedicated database servers is becoming a pressing issue as our community grows. Though this means a lot of work for us, it's also a sign of that progress, so I'll need to look at it as a challenge...
As a provisional measure, I shortened the pruning limit of the spam forum and the wordgames forum, hope this will reduce the load a bit...
Have fun!
