Title: Server issues
Post by: theory on February 01, 2012, 02:10:22 pm
As you may have noticed, we seem to be having server issues today.  The forum and councilroom.com are hosted on a machine in Rob's apartment, which occasionally suffers from bad Internet. 

It's usually not a big deal, but we're thinking about moving this site onto dedicated hosting if this persists.

rrenaud believes that the cause of today's 4 hour outage was that someone was scraping councilroom.com and causing massive slowdowns.  People who ignore robots.txt are jerks!

Either that or it was popsofctown's fault (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=2774.msg47824#msg47824).

Both Isotropic and the Dominion Strategy Forum were down today. Now I know what hell would be like.

I don't think I have ever clicked Refresh (while muttering 'please, come on!') so many times in a single afternoon.

And here I really was wondering how you were surviving without Iso, OR Mafia.

Not well! "Can't play Dominion? Okay, I'll talk about it. What? No talking about it? Okay, I'll play Mafia... nope, can't do that either. That's okay, I'll play Dominion... crap, I can't!"

I'm almost brought out all the BOXES from my basement and called a FRIEND to play REAL person Dominion. That's desperation.

You need a backup game.  May I suggest Diablo 3? :p

I had an unusually productive day at work because of this.

I remembered some really old text only MMORPG that is surprisingly decent.  3 year old account still worked like new.

We are hosted on Linode, and as http://status.linode.com/ reports, there was a brief power outage in some of their linodes today.
