Site Update
Aywas is back!
So, here's the adventure.
At 12:30 AM we requested a new hard drive - as we were told that Aywas would speed up if we put our MYSQL database on a solid state secondary drive. The drive was installed by 1:00 AM, all looked good, until I turned the site back on and logged in.
Our data had been rolled back to October 2010. O__o
So, yeah, suffice to say that was unacceptable. Around 1:30 AM I requested that our hourly backups be extracted and the most recent database before the downtime be used. From 1:30 AM until now, 9:00 AM... the backups kept failing. And failing. :|
Only about ten minutes ago did a backup FINALLY WORK! And now we have Aywas back, just as it was when we left it - and hopefully faster!
Please tell me if you see a speed increase. That was the point of all this work!
As you so kindly waited along with me in our eight hours of downtime, feel free to request a free common species custom here by submitting a custom image.
It's great to be back!

Its seems 100x slower to me. Im on a cell and I used to be able to blow through the explore pages. Its now taking over a full min for one page to load.

I got a bit of lag so far in the searching user shops. But so far that's it XD A tiney bit of lag deleting notices one by one, but I ~think~ that's just my computer.

I hate it when my site does a rollback. Makes me want to kick a wall.
<3 thanks for keeping us updated though. The site DOES run faster O: fastest pet site I've ever been on!

Yup, definitely faster! ^^ I'm so glad we didn't have to resort to overrunning anybody with Serruls. xP

Is there someone who sell common designs up to 50 % lineart edits?
