Downtime Options

[Coomer]

Sorry about the downtime guys. Turns out I'm a terrible system administrator.

What happened was the email queue was piled up with over 400,000 messages, aka 400,000 files, causing the server to use too many resources and stopping stuff from working (like basic database queries).

At first I suspected table corruption, so I stopped the web server and ran some tests on the database. Then the web server wouldn't restart. I worked throughout the whole night and finally figured out my issue and removed the email messages.

Now everything should be working. Except adding high-res photos or removing photos, which I plan to have fixed in a couple hours. Let me know if you see anything weird.

It all seems to be in order now. i've been thru almost everything and nothing is out of place, all placed links seem to be holding, and generated links are being generated correctly (it would seem).

i haven't messed with avatars today though...

And your not a terrible admin, Most guys with sites as large as this one usually have to hire staff it would seem that your doing a great job
