Could you live with a 36-hour downtime for database re-indexing and re-coding???

A lot of people bitch for a solution. Sadly the only way to get there means a big site outage. Enquiring server gerbils REALLY want to know.

Dagwolf · 07-07-2006, 01:23 AM

I could live with that if I knew it was coming. Don't surprise me.

gooddomains · 07-07-2006, 01:23 AM

I'm in for it, if it really improves the search function.

Bro Media - BANNED FOR LIFE · 07-07-2006, 01:23 AM

sure, let us all get a good 36 hours worth of work in

cranki · 07-07-2006, 01:23 AM

If people would fucking use it, YESSSS!!!! PLEASSEEEE!!!! I hate wasting my time with people posting the same stuff over and over again...

just for your entertainment, here's something I just figured out:
goto: www.google.com
typein: miserable failure
hit: i'm feeling lucky

fucking hilarious!!!!!!!

Pimpin_J · 07-07-2006, 01:24 AM

I'd cry like a whiny little bitch!!!

BusterBunny · 07-07-2006, 01:26 AM

never had problems with search, but the masses are tired of eating cake.....

jt420 · 07-07-2006, 01:35 AM

id love to be able to get results from the search plus i could get some work done if gfy went done for that long

Tempest · 07-07-2006, 01:42 AM

As long as one could actually search for something after the fact then shut it down.. no biggie...

$5 submissions · 07-07-2006, 01:48 AM

I'll take the downtime

excellent response

madawgz · 07-07-2006, 01:57 AM

sure, go for it

if it will make the board better

Screaming · 07-07-2006, 01:58 AM

take it down for 2 days if you have 2

baddog · 07-07-2006, 01:58 AM

yeah, the search works for the most part, but there are searches that don't seem to function, so it would be nice if it did

Jace · 07-07-2006, 02:08 AM

like baddog said, the search usually works for me, but I get the occasional white page

regardless, it is just a forum....36 hours ain't that bad....I actually thought you were talking a week or so

OG LennyT · 07-07-2006, 02:12 AM

36-48 hrs = no sweat

darksoul · 07-07-2006, 02:15 AM

I say take it down for about two months.
I'm sure everyone will survive.

tASSy · 07-07-2006, 02:16 AM

yeah i agree, the search function now *uuuuuuusually* works for me, but GFY is slow as always (i blame the intricate sigs, you know i'd never blame you TD!!!) help!

darksoul · 07-07-2006, 02:20 AM

btw, you don't need to take gfy down to build your index.
Just build the index on a slave and mod the search function to use that server.

godisdead · 07-07-2006, 02:32 AM

Yes! Yes! Yes! Make the damn search function work!!!
36 hrs. Come on! That's nothing compared to the time one could save with a decent search tool. By all means do it. Announce the time before you do and it will be just fine.

pornstar2pac · 07-07-2006, 02:34 AM

as long as it doesn't effect Lensman golf schedule, I'm cool with it

GoNe · 07-07-2006, 02:43 AM

I say do it.

GregE · 07-07-2006, 02:47 AM

Sounds good to me.

Go for it!

munki · 07-07-2006, 03:19 AM

You've never let us down TD!!!

Cap'n make it so...

polle54 · 07-07-2006, 03:28 AM

well what is major downtime?

is it a couple of days? a week? a month????

Kevsh · 07-07-2006, 03:43 AM

No one can cry like a bitch if the site is down

Go for it.

martinsc · 07-07-2006, 03:46 AM

go for it

Playa-Deak · 07-07-2006, 03:48 AM

Do it, most ppl need to step away from GFY a day or two anyways...

Kimo · 07-07-2006, 04:07 AM

hell i dont care, you make the call!

notabook · 07-07-2006, 04:31 AM

That?s not what you should be asking yourself Texas. You should be asking yourself if the GFY search feature could be drastically improved? would people use it instead of posting the same shit 1,000 times over again and again?

scottybuzz · 07-07-2006, 04:34 AM

search working quick for me, though last couple of days has been a little tedious

drama · 07-07-2006, 05:35 AM

I still dont get why you dont build your own off-server search. I've managed to write shit which searched not only GFY but many many other adult and non-adult forums and never have the problems you guys do!

wait, you don't have the same problems that the biggest adult industry message board has?! why not? oh wait, that's right - you're nobody. who's been pinging your server harder than i'd beat your mom with a baseball bat? oh yah. no one.

if you want to brag about your script kiddie m4d $k177$, perhaps you should email TexasDreams directly with more specific information about your genius brain? just a thought, perhaps your could collaborate.

The Sultan Of Smut · 07-07-2006, 05:48 AM

I could definitely live with the down time, let 'er rip!

Chris · 07-07-2006, 06:30 AM

best bet is to do it at the strart a big industery show so gfy is slower than normal already

Wow 36-hour downtime? Now you know the GFY addicts will be flipping.

I on the other hand would be fine with it.

candyflip · 07-07-2006, 08:40 AM

I don't care about improving so much as I care that it works. I can handle some downtime.

I used to LOVE the search option. Maybe fixing it will cut down on all the double triple posting we see now. I say go for it. I use to use GFY to research problems, but that became worthless a long time ago. Bring back a good search.

CaptainHowdy · 07-07-2006, 08:54 AM

Thanks for the heads up

WarChild · 07-07-2006, 08:54 AM

My background is in Database Architecture, and I just don't see how GFY could take 36 hours to re-index. ItIt can't be that large of a database, really.

Some of the databases I've designed and worked on handle more transactions per day than GFY has posts overall with very complicated indexes and can be completely reindexed in far less than 36 hours.

Just out of curiousity, what am I missing here?

Think he wants your job TD!!!

Do what ya gotta. If it were me, I think I'd go for the improvements. What would be the down side? The other adult boards might get a shot in the arm. For sure their activity would be up during the down time. You'd have the "Make Good" hassel with your advertisers. Don't know how your contracts read, but suspect the advertisers will want something.

Other downsides might be? Headaches of tech staff if something goes burp along the way.

Upsides would be less bitching about the search feature. Suspect you have a list of things to fix. The down time would give you the opportunity to go down your list...

Call it 48 hours so when you do it in 36, you look good. You know users will still find something to bitch about.

Good luck
