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!

A lot faster...and easier to see! XD No more tiny text/pics. (for the record, I'm not that old nor did I adjust my computer :P)
Thanks for your hard work (and the unexpected bonus)

Lmao! I was actually on at the indicated 1 AM. I managed to hammer a login and saw my old Lacer, Tanith, brown and level 1. XD I figured something was going on, but I'm relieved to wake up to see everything fell into place :)
