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.

  Thanks so much for keeping us informed -- sure, it sucks that it was down, but stuff happens, and the fact that you kept us updated on Twitter and then had an explanation for us right away keeps me from being panicked ... instead of flipping out and throwing something across the room, my reaction is "squeaky will take care of it soon, no problem." Even before I know what's going on, I know you'll be working to take care of it, and that makes up for any inconvenience.

    Ditto! And that's an attitude I'm able to just pass along to my players, too. Site's down? No worries, I've got confidence in the almighty squeaky!
