STATE of the SETTLER speech (or "You shouldnt have goten much busy messages lately")

[MarkG]

according to our server load logging system, which keeps track of server load every 5 minutes, as of early August 15 we havent had any of the huge load spike that were causing "blackouts" of 10-15 minutes for non-PLUS users.

the critical change was in the configuration of our mail server.

this along with an increase on the load levels on which the server busy message is shown should mean that non-PLUS users should not have seen many server busy messages (if any) during the last 2 days (right? )

in regards to killing the search feature, no we're not going to do it. we'll fight the beat to death before we resort to doing such things....

Kill the mail server.

You bastard Skanky better kill DGs and FGs, just not the mailserver .

This is excellent (and very timely) news!! Your hard work is paying off.

It is a good thing too. Rumors are rife that the entire Greek military is being mobilized for immediate deployment to The Games--to fill the seats or something. Probably just another rumor, but if it should happen, I hope you give us a report on what you see. Hopefully, more folk will buy tickets and show up and this move, to send in the troops, will be unnecessary.

Plus folk have not been receiving the busy messages but, for a while, there was a good bit of 'data base error' messages. But these have not happened in a long time, either. Is this related to solving the 'busy' messages problem??

Thanks for all the things you have done to make this site so cool.

Now we don't get all the fun of teasing people who get the msg and start threads! I demand it be put back the way it was.

Please don't kill the search function. If you want to give some more incentives for PLUS membership, enable search for Archives for PLUS members. I've seen such requests popping up quite often.

I've indeed seen less server busy message the last couple of days than has been usual of late.

Good, good. Haven't seen one for a day or two.
