Sry for me sounding like I moron, but what's FA:U? Is it today??
Click to expand...

FA:U = Fur Affinity: United, a fairly new furry convention held in Newark, NJ. People who are setting things up and some folks who are attending are probably going to be there today. I know I will. The con is from the 1st-3rd.

*reads latest update on site status. Gets excited seeing the four hour comment. Sees THREE DAY comment.* ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know. These things take there time and such. I respect that. I just hate being jerked around. I'm told one thing at one point. Then another. And another. UG! I was jumping with joy on the 28th when I thought it was coming back up thinking "Hey it's coming back up on my birthday!" and got yet another disappointment. Ug! *bashes head against wall*

Oh well I guess that's just the way things work. Keep doing what you guys do FA staff. We'll all be ecstatic once the site's back up and running.

I've always been of the opinion that setting a projected date waaay in the future is much better than setting something realistic. Stuff always comes up, the realistic time comes and goes and people are going "WTF?"

And dammit, NJ is way too far to go for a con. :(

I agree with u put if it can be up in 4 hours i think they should do it unless by doing so the code thing cannot continue but i am personal sick of waiting.

Actually I'm not saying they should rush it. Would I like it if they brought it back up in four hours? You bet I would! But at the same time I don't wanna see it go up for like 20 minutes only to have it go back offline because the time wasn't taken to do it right.

My thoughts exactly. I don't really care anymore what the admins are saying about when the site will be back. My prediction is August 16th. I had to go through the same thing with Brawl (first it was at Wii launch, then fall 2007, then February 2008, then finally March 2008. The longer I end up waiting, the less I end up caring about how soon it happens.

Data server has been installed in the colo.
RAM upgrades have been installed in the database server.

Data server's OS has been performance tuned (kernel parameters for tcp stack/file system).
Environment has been set up.
Server software installed and configured.
90% of the user data moved from the old server.

Database server tuned to take in account the additional RAM.
Unexpected startup/shutdown performance problems with MySQL noticed and corrections applied.

--

Technically Fur Affinity can be online in 4 hours.
But the website is going to stay offline for the process of merging in the code updates related to improving database efficiency, and the interface changes that are related to the new database schema.

The process may take up to three days, but the final deadline of FA's comeback is Monday morning.

Our apologies for the extended downtime. It is, among other things, pretty embarrassing and we wish to end it just as much as you folks if not more.

Wow. Brand-new, super-fast server and they're performing database optimizations. Sounds like the 'Neer ain't the only one using this downtime as an excuse to make improvements that have been needed for a long time. But with a server this powerful, what benefit could more optimization possibly have? ....hmmmmm ;)

*Slams head against keyboard at the thought of waiting until Monday... But then resolves to be patient with a deep sigh...*

Just keep up the good work on getting the site back up and running. I'll wait as long as it takes! ^_^;

What kind of connection will the server have when it comes back up.(t1, t2, t3) You might need a t3 for the amount of uploads your going to get that first week or so.

hey folks!! i have a spare 250 s-ata maxtor here with me...may it help to speed up some little non-mainstream back-up remained operations? i'm so desperately waiting for FA to come back up that i wil sell my whole Desktop just to be sure that could help speedin' up everything over here at FA colo's center even if i know that there's an unrealistically huge gap between my "tiny-and-cute" 5 ghz amd dual-core 2GB RAM ...and TROGDOR!! but..who knows...even the smallestest ant would help the Elephants Crew winning the battle...oh, such a romantically moved dreamer i'm, am i not?

Wow I cant wait until it comes back, its been really slow. I've actually joined Myspace and posted on Craigslist. Joined Newgrounds and added a lot of subscriptions to YouTube. Not having a working TV sucks because I finally got my 360 back and cant play it. I've just been working on my fursuit and needed some info, that I can only find on FA. Plus I still haven't gotten my badge commission from Squeedgemonster and been kind of peeved with that. Overall this month has literally sucked, especially without the money.
