Servers down ?

[nudist]

It's a few weeks now since I discovered bdsmlibrary, and I'm very happy with it: nice tolerant people.

The last few days I get more and more error messages, sometimes the server you run on, is too busy, otherwise there is a message of a database error. I had these the very first time I found BDSMlibrary and then almost forgot about my discovery. A mail from you gave it a second chance. Curious to see what's going on, I try to take a look when back from work, or back from my fitness training, but the last few days this fails systematically : is this forum suffering from its own success ? Or is Asia killing the server, making it too hot ???

What happens ?

My understanding is that there are just too many people wanting to be here, remember hearing mention of over 3 million hits a day. But our admins and techies are working on moving us to a monster server. If I am not right I am sure Rabbit1 will take his cane out to me, and tell you what I should have said.

Rumor has it that there is another push to transfer the site to a bigger server, but it ain't easy.

[Rabbit1]

you are correct it is not easy to move a site this big and complicated ---remember it is just not the forum that has to be moved---the is also the Academy ---Chat ----The Story data base ----and we want to move it without losing data ----so please be patient ----we are trying to coordinate the move with the techs--so all can be done without screwing up the system

[Rabbit1]

The move to the new server is complete---Please bear with us if there are a few tweaks that need to be done ----

Oh wow!!! It's been some journey, eh? But soooo worth it!

Thanks for all the effort and nerves that went into this.

[maddie]

Indeed! Even if it meant all the fun Silke and I had when we thought we were the only people here is gone. . .

[Silke]

*giggles* have we been hallucinating, maddie? I always knew the forums were addictive, but had no idea it messed with our minds THAT much...

[Ozme52]

That probably explains the lost posts today. Probably those posts occurred between the last back-up and the move.

I'd suggest, in the future, that once the back-up is made, you make the database read-only and put up an "error message" letting us know...

None-the-less, a nice smooth transition.

Thx Rabbit

[cariad]

Thank you and congratulations to all involved with the move.

Was an interesting time in chat too when we were cast adrift from the rest of the world.

Have to admit this was Tiger and his Techs baby---I was in bed sick yesterday when he finally got things together to make the move ---Thanks Tiger

[nudist]

Great ! Thanks a lot for these efforts ! No problem so far anymore.

[suchaminx]

Thanks to everyone, it must have been tough, but congratulations and I haven't lost anything ~smiles~

I'm kinda glad some of my posts last night were lost...*giggles*. Fate raising a hand, I guess.

Smooth move, Tiger and you lovely anonymous tech people.

[Ozme52]

A couple of glitches today Rabbit. Getting bounced out of chat... and then can't get into the forum database directly thereafter..

[Timberwolf]

I see the Database Errors are still very much out in force.

Hopefully we can get that cleaned up soon.

[Rabbit1]

see what happens when I try to take my birthday off ---lol no there are still some glitches from the move but by in large the site is faster and more stable ---the software had me locked out of the admin panel yesterday ---I could not do a thing until I contacted the Owner of the site to fix it ---lol

so hang in there as we clean up the minor problems ---as we find them ---

[Aussiegirl1]

Rabbit, you are all doing a great job with the move. Good luck with fixing those minor problems. As to being locked out of the admin panel, LOL, at least you had to take a break for a little while. But knowing how hard you work, you probably had a million other things to do!

[Tojo]

Take your time O great one- the joint is working fine, even the girls up top ^ look better than before!
