Recent Site Outage
Submitted by Matt on Thu, 12/04/2007 - 09:19.
Just so folks know, the recent tendency for the site to fall over randomly is the result of our increased popularity (yay!), which was causing the database to run out of memory (boo!).
I've made a few tweaks to solve this:
- If you're not logged in you get a cached copy of pages, that may be up to half and hour old. This means we take less of a hit from non-logged in folks.
- I tweaked the database settings to be more memory efficient and paid for a slight memory upgrade.
This should stop things randomly shutting down.
Site News

Hi Guys,
thought I'd start a discussion on site development, and my blog seems as good a place as any to use.
First off, news.
I've opened up the site fully to search engines now, so don't post anything you don't want Google to stumble across :).
The software we use (Drupal for anybody who cares) has just moved onto a new version and I plan to update in the near future. I'll be testing to make sure it doesn't do odd things before I make the switch though, so it won't be right away.
I've also updated a few defaults. Now when you post a new topic in the forums it appears in the RSS feed (previously it as just blogs), useful if like me you keep track of sites that way.
[Site] Forum Changes

I've made a few amendments to the forum settings, largely due to layout issues. Comments should now display unindented in posting order, much like all the other RPG Fora.
