The Changes

Please no backseat driving.

Anyone who has a specific idea they'd like to volunteer to try, contact me by email or PM. Anyone who has a suggestion for something I could try, the same. Feature requests, though, like yours, Eero, are at this point most unwelcome.

Thanks!

Filip Luszczyk:
I suggest removing The Archives sticky for the time being, or linking to this thread from there. Links in that thread only redirect to unavailable.html currently, which is confusing.

Falc:
Vincent,

I can certainly appreciate your request to handle suggestions through private channels.

However, before I can make any useful suggestions, I'd need some more technical details. Since I do believe that anyone else trying to help would need these as well, I'd like to suggest putting at least those here in public to ensure you don't have to give them out a dozen times.

So what is going on? You indicated the database got too big, but what exactly do you mean by that? Did it no longer fit on the hard drives? Or did each action take too long to finish due to the amount of data, causing slowdowns?

Also, hardware. How many servers are we talking about, how many drives, what setup?

Quick status update:

I'm building a search index for the archives. It's a lengthy process -- I've been at it for many days, including some interruptions, but according to the search index utility it's only 54.4% created. I hope it's done by the weekend upcoming.

Once it's finished, I'll try opening the archives again.

lumpley:
Eero, I followed your suggestion about the conditional redirect and it seems pretty good so far. Thank you. Sorry for being cranky!
