Hope all goes well in the upgrade for you

**baddog** · 10-07-2006, 11:27 AM

Guess I should find something to do tonight. Better go to the bank I guess.

**AsianDivaGirlsWebDude** · 10-07-2006, 11:30 AM

Bahhh...downtime! When I was kid we didn't have downtime, and we didn't have queer nicknames like Texas Dreams either!!!

Sounds like I need to make a liquor store run...

And when you were a kid, did you have to walk 20-miles up-hill both ways, through 8-feet of snow to update your websites?

**poisson** · 10-07-2006, 11:39 AM

When I was a kid, we didn't even have websites. We had bulletin board systems. And dial-up!

**Robo** · 10-07-2006, 11:44 AM

Private messaging is disabled on GFY for good reason.

Booo!!! This limits my Cowboys pissing time before the Eagles kick their ass Sunday Night!

**Gillespie** · 10-07-2006, 12:43 PM

Why do you need to mod the db? Are you switching to another BB?

Today I was in the local corner shop and suddenly heard the almost forgotten sound of a modem connecting. I guess the shopkeeper was connecting to something but I was taken over my memories of shoving a pencil down the sound hole in my modem so my parents couldn't hear it dialing. Ahhh, 16 and addicted to a BBS.

*** Downtime Schedule ***

Midnight Tonight till 4AM Pacific Time Sunday Morning

Time for some upgrades, and this one is big on the processing time. Testing on the development servers is done, and final tuning on the templates is set.

This upgrade will take a bit longer due to database modifications, it means rebuilding the entire threads database (700K threads). Testing on a cloned database (11M+ posts), took 3 hours, 10 minutes of raw processing time alone. I'm estimating 4-hours max downtime for the entire conversion and update.

Upgrade will start at midnight Pacific Time and be done by 4am the morning of 08 October 2006. This one will be worth it, and YES it looks like this will certainly fix some of the major problems we've had with the ailing search feature.

So, what are you to do during this maintenance time?

How about clicking on some of those sexy banners at the top and bottom of the GFY pages to see how those sponsors can make you some money!!!

**dissipate** · 10-07-2006, 12:48 PM

Hooray For The Search Function Finally Working

**Vendzilla** · 10-07-2006, 01:07 PM

good luck texas

**Booger** · 10-07-2006, 01:31 PM

if its not back up by 4am PT i want my 2 dollars back

**Booger** · 10-07-2006, 01:34 PM

also ...those sponsors you were referring to....they should all be pro-rated for the down time...its comes to about 25$ for each of the top banner sponsors....i know adult.com will do the right thing

Ha! When I was a kid, we didn't have no fancy bulletin board systems and dial-up. We just scratched our messages on rocks, and threw them at eachother!

This one time, I wrote a girl a long loveletter, but I had to use a really, really large rock to make it all fit, and the rock ended up killing her. I still cry about that sometimes

**madawgz** · 10-07-2006, 03:34 PM

TD, would it be hard to put a spell checker on gfy? so if someone spells something wrong like

"Im going to my houes" it will say "Did you mean, house or hoes"

know what i mean?

**cyberstar** · 10-07-2006, 03:36 PM

Brilliant! Telling the sys admin he has a queer nick. Hope you don't loose any post count in the upgrade.

Know you were just kiddin around, but if there is a bump in the middle of that upgrade, well...

**dougeetx** · 10-07-2006, 05:03 PM

**Spunky** · 10-07-2006, 06:25 PM

Hope it goes well and fixes the bugs

**Brad Mitchell** · 10-07-2006, 07:05 PM

Fantastic! I know if you guys can get GFY to speed up that it will be even more busy than ever before. Also, if you could eventually re-enable searches that would do alot to help some of us keep up with things here.

Cheers,

Brad

**Scroto** · 10-07-2006, 07:17 PM

in the downtime im going to find jesus and post about it tomarrow.....
