As many of you have experienced, there are problems with the site right now. I am trying to figure out what the problem is, but please be patient in the meantime.

I wondered what was going on... How did I cope without YWS? :lol:

Ddo you want bug reports here or elsewhere, or would those be detremintal to the process at this point?

Unless the bug report is something other than "phpBB Critical error," I don't need it. Thanks though.

I got a "Server Default Page for a while, around 4:30 EST, which was odd. I even took pictures ^_^

Does that help any?

It was a blessing in disguise for me - I needed a break from the PC, and without YWS, what's the point in being on it at all?

Might I remind you that some of these members actually died frm withdrawal symptoms.

Leja - I think we all got that.

Best of luck!

I can google any YWS page and get on here, but I can't reach the homepage. The picture Leja showed is what comes up when I reach the homepage. Otherwise, googling any other page gets me to the site.

I think it's fixed, but we'll see...

At first I thought someone was trying to hack the site due to some odd access logs. But, after finally getting to review the security logs, it doesn't look that way. So now I think it's because too many "people" were trying to access the site at one. I use quotes because most of those "people" were stupid search engine bots. They're great, but often overzealous. Increased user activity plus overzealous bots means that the database got overload and shut down. I think I fixed it by increasing the number of maximum connections from 100 to 500, but whether I actually did or not remains to be seen.


Jabber ->> Hit refresh! My guess is that your browser cached that page, so now it won't update until you reload the page. Browsers can be stupid like that.


Amelia ->> Aye, that screen will pop up whenever I turn off the site. I had to do it for a bit because resetting the server didn't work.

Okay ^_^ Sorry; didn't know if it was something new or not.



You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
