Database Issue Nov 13th 2008
Posted on 11/13/2008 3:37:03 PM PST by John Robinson
We were experiencing a database issue today that effectively froze the site content. It has been defrosted.
We've experienced numerous technical issues this past month. In an effort to handle increasing traffic, we've made upgrades to our internal structure that have rendered the site far more brittle than it ever was, coupled with general growing pains, coincidental hardware failures and a little foul play (at least one nasty denial of service attack) has seen the site down far too many hours this month. It's been frustrating for everybody involved and I apologize.

Thank you John. It’s been more frustrating for you than it has been for all of us. But it was scary for a while! ;-).
May things click along more smoothly for now. ;-)
God bless you and yours!

Thanks for this wonderful site and all your efforts in keeping it up and running. AS we may have to go underground because of the unFairness Doctrine this site may be our “great white hope”.
Never, never give up.

Sorry, I am still in campaign withdrawal.....I hardly noticed.
It’s good to know you are on the job though. Keep up the good work. I would be left adrift in a sea of obamites if it were not for FR. Then I would be suicidal. ;^)

Do you ever get tempted sometimes everytime FR has server related problems, to get a Mac server? Just wondering.
