Sorry About that

Your ever so wise an all knowing sysadmin (insert sarcasm) goofed up. I forgot about the database logs getting really really big and filling up the log filesystem, and didn't move them somewhere bigger. So basically the database for the site locked up this evening and caused a couple of the tables to crash. I had to do some database repair work, but I got everything back up and running.

Yes this is the same thing that happened last time we moved servers (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/announcements/36438.html) , in the haste of it all I forgot about this, I'm sorry about it.

But take solace in knowing that it is fixed and the site shouldn't be going back down again any time soon.

  I just have to comment and say that I am one of the many who have moved over from GJ and you do an amazing job. To see this the second the site is up and running again, I mean we'd go days without knowing anything of what happened on GJ and even when they'd say something, they would never answer the "What happened" question. All we want are answers, honest ones at that, shit happens, and I just want to say thank you so much for giving us those answers without even having to ask. I love knowing that I can read the news on the homepage and know exactly what happened. You keep us well informed and it's greatly appreciated.

    I know that transparency is key here. I have nothing to hide
