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.

Good stuff Matt, cheers for sorting this out. Do we owe you anything for the memory upgrade costs?
