There's no user growth, however response time gets progressively worse.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaats our FA!

It's actually more than likely that PHP or MySQL is Failing Horribly again. Or there's some sort of hardware fault. Not everything is a DDoS, people.

FA was banned from Paypal long before that. Thus why the cub porn thing was about AlertPay.

And they don't care.

There is clearly some sort of problem affecting thumbnail loading.

Remember, folks, the "is it slow or just me" questions can be answered here. Choose a time period (6h would work for recent problems, choose accordingly if the problem has been going on for several...

That front page (and the rest of the changes) is state of the art...




...by 2001 standards.

Throw this all out. All of it. Start over. Any designer will tell you this is not an...

Every feature ever promised was being "worked on" and was going to be implemented "real soon now". WikiFur has a small list of these confirmed features going as far back as 2005, before the site as...

Is something actually going to happen this time?

I seem to recall this happening once before!

Why messages over a year old are kept around is beyond me.

When does a hobby project become an obligation?

Is it when you have 6 million submissions?
Half-a-million plus users?
10,000+ peak concurrent users?

There comes a point where you have to let...

More of the same.

Long story short: You emailed during FA United and the one person who does advertising (Dragoneer) was understandably quite busy.

While that may explain why it takes a while to load pages, it doesn't explain how the responsiveness of the MySQL server has been getting progressively worse. Unless they got another database server...

It's unofficial and is a small project that a few people on Vivisector's IRC are a part of. Two or three servers pulls two images from FA every 40 seconds and a collection of pages from artists with...

Aaaaaand it's almost back to being as bad (seems like it's actually worse) as it was last weekend.

These charts show that it's been happening every day since the update during FA's peak hours. I doubt it's the backup.

Actually, incompetence allowed this part of the code to spill out last spring. It's also something that can easily be removed in public repositories.

Nobody else is allowed to work on the code...

The ironic thing about the whole "The site could be exploited" thing is that the people who habitually exploit the site are the ones that want to volunteer to remove the exploits.

Well, they did add a new "feature", and something always breaks whenever they touch the code.

So this is expected behavior.

Because that's perfectly logical and makes complete sense.

It's like when I suggested this be moved (and got ignored by the staff), it wasn't just because I like to complain but because it's...

Were the bans reverted, perhaps, because they were deemed non-malicious? Why not just put that in the rules so people aren't banned and then unbanned later?

I and many others are "exploiting" the...

My point more or less was based on the recent various avatar exploits. Although there were people who were truly using the exploits maliciously, I remember there were a few people who were claiming...

So it's against the rules to do things that aren't against the rules but are supposed to be against the rules but the administration didn't write the rules well enough so they're not actually against...

Because, like every other part of FA, it was poorly coded, poorly maintained, and never replaced when it should have been. The technical reasons involve a database table with everyone else's notes...
