We're down briefly for a bit of maintenence.
« on: June 01, 2009, 01:04:19 PM »
The forums are shut down for just a bit while we do a backup of the database and then rebuild a few tables.
In part this is due to some minor functionality upgrades and some issues resulting from them.

We've had the forum side software set to a 2 character search for a bit but the MySQL server was still set to a 4 character minimum.
Today we bumped the server down to a two character search limit and found some small error codes popping up.

Rather then let a small problem escalate we're going to take preventive measures and just backup and rebuild the tables with issues.

Yeah, it lied to us and claimed a quick repair.

However we still were receiving errors so we're going for the slower but complete repair.

Well, 'complete' is hopeful as we've yet to get a new set of chicken bones to place on the server..

Well, since a "Minuet" is a French dance from the 18th century and was about 10 minutes long or so.  I figured that .Net should be back on in about an hour and a half.
