Why is it that AO keeps going offline for extended periods? first it was for a few hours at a time, the latest Database error lasted almost 24 hours, JP has said nothing, there have been few discussions about it, and I want to know why. Hiding behind mysql only works for so long, then you need to answer, 80k peeps want to know why!!!!
The BOFH reason was......
"Unfortunately we have run out of bits/bytes/whatever. Don't worry, the next supply will be coming next week"

Thanks for BOFH reason Matty_Cross! man i had just finnished typing the best post ever seen on A.O. Hit the Submit button and nothing happens. I close window and try to log into AO again.Only get the data base down message . OK so wat have i done now . panick . Next day the same . panick even more start packing . Try one more time before giving up computers for ever AO is back
It's all part of JP's evil plot to take-over the world database by database. If I told you more, I'd have to kill you.
Sheesh. Welcome to computers. This site was one of two sites of my favs that was down. The other site, an online game, had switched to newer hardware but discovered the hard way that it wasn't powerful enough for the game so they had to get newer new hardware.Quote:

Anyways, its free. Don't whine and complain. I suspect the reason why JP hasn't said anything is because... DUH! he was working on it. Sheesh! Why should you be told anyways? What does it concern you? The Database error page is more than likely a modified error page and doesn't necessarily indicate that it is specific a software issue.
It's not like this website is the only thing going on in your life. Maybe in mine, but surely not in yours.
The last 24 hours has made me understand that I need to get a life. You can see how well that worked though...as soon as AO was back up....here I am.
Thanks JP...I was starting to go through withdrawal symptoms, and it wasn't pretty! Glad we're all back up and running! :D

LOL, Me too.. AO withdrawls suck :(
But luckily I was away the whole day and when I came back it was 2am so I just went back to sleep :D
Well .... I found that I had to come in to work today ... so I'm [shadow]HAPPY [/shadow] that AO is back to keep me company!
Cheers,

PS = Of course, I wrote this and then it went down for db maintenance ... Murphy's law I guess. And nope, Dome, my work firewall won't let me IRC.
When all else fails you can always log on to irc.antionline.com and join us in a LIVE chat.... it rarely goes down, and there are allways people chatting :)
IRC rox.... i think all the members should come join us :)
Augh, That wasnt a 3 hour update... JP, whats the deal with the server?
come on acid... you know that computer have random problems... i'm sure that's all that happened. besideseveryone was having withdrawls... get over it... ;) lol, just messing with ya
p.s.- on a serious note i wouldn't complain too much. the site is a whole hell of a lot faster now... faster is a good thing, even if it meant the site needing to be down for a day.
Things have really changed since I used to spend a lot of time in their ;)Quote:

suggestion:
think of it as a privilege to participate as a member in this community instead of expecting it to always be here for your entertainment.
i for one am thankful that someone like JP has taken the initiative in putting togeather this site, maintaining it, and taking all of our bitching and bullshit that goes along with it.
keep up the good work JP.
*puffs up chest in a threatening manner*
Yeah, what he says! Thanks, JP, for all the fun I've had here the last few months. This site rocks!
*leaves the room throwing peace signs,blah, blah, blah*

LOL....me too......I spent the past 24 hours actually learning a little bit! Can you believe it? Instead of lurking on these forums waiting for the next newbie to eat alive......I went somewhere else and read a few tutorials! I could ask stupid questions without fear of the dreaded antipoint.......
It's made me realise that I spend way too long here when I could be doing me productive things. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the site and I'm not going anywhere, I just needed that break to make me see that I'm actually falling behind a little bit in the IT world....
Is there an AntiOnline rehab centre? What about a Betty Ford clinic for geeks? ;)
*Stands up*
Hi, my name is tyger_claw and I'm an Addict!
*Looks down at his shirt, it sais AntiOnline.com*
Boy am I ever an Addict!
*Sits down and smiles* :)
Signs that you’re an antionline addict.
1. You see the purple antionline logo even when you not near a computer.
2. You call the people at your office newbie.
3. You go through withdraw when antionline goes down.
4. When ever one of your non-nerd friends asks you a simple question about windows ME you go on a rant about how much M$ sucks forgetting that no one gives a ****.
5. You install UNIX on your mom’s computer (now se can’t check her e-mail).
Another sign your an addict...
You try to post a reply to a post on a bulletin board.... in the grocery store :duh:
And don't forget:Quote:
