Database maintenance
We will be performing maintenance during the morning (EST) tomorrow. This will cause the site to become unusable during the time that this maintenance is ongoing. We will update our Facebook and Twitter feeds with the progress as the maintenance is ongoing.
Thanks for your understanding.
Thanks for your understanding.
As opposed to the way the site has worked for the last few days - so slow as to be unusable most of the time - I'm not sure I'm going to notice the difference to be honest.
Is this slowness and problems with userpics going to be fixed with this maintenance?
But I do expect it to be usable.
Oh come on now. This slowness isn't just a recent thing. It happens all the time! There are issues all the time! Down time and slowness seems to be a recurring thing on IJ. Userpics and account creation (capchta?) often seem to go wrong too (although admittedly I haven't experienced that as much myself).
Which why I sound a little annoyed.
I know he's just one guy, and when I first came over here I didn't expect problems to get sorted out instantly, or for problems not to occur, but I did expect them to get sorted out eventually. I did expect that the site would eventually level out in terms of reliability and speed. I thought things would improve over time - maybe I was wrong in that assumption.
And again, I don't think I'm out of order to be complaining. This is a business not a charity. It's not like I'm complaining about a service he gives for free.
but I did expect them to get sorted out eventually
and has squeaky not continually been troubleshooting what's going on, even outright admitting whenever he's not sure why there might be a specific issue and doing whatever he can to get it resolved? common sense is a friend indeed.
i don't take issue with your being annoyed, but i do take issue with you sniping at squeaky over it like that's going to help in any way. don't bite the hand that feeds, aka the hand you made the conscious decision to pay despite knowing what issues have been had in the past few months. don't take it out on him. this isn't lj, the greater percentage of users have multitudes of free accounts here that contribute to site load, etc, and when that revenue isn't there, there's only so much that can be done in a given period of time. not once have i seen squeaky neglect any issues the site has had, ever, and this post has even been to inform people of site maintenance that's going to happen in the morning for your benefit, but yet you're sitting here being a jackoff to him. real motivational, buddy.
And why should I keep my attitude in check? It's there because these problems never seem to get sorted out. Even when the site is working it's usually slow.
And why wouldn't he troubleshoot and do whatever he can to solve things? That isn't a favour he's doing for us. It's his job as owner of this site. InsaneJournal isn't a lovely present he's decided to give to the internet. It's a business - presumably built to make money from.
And I don't see how expecting this site to do the job it says it's going to is being a 'jackoff'.
