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!

I'm on Mozilla Firefox. I experienced about a 20% gain in speed.
Thank you so much!

ah, mine is much faster. So glad it got fixed. I was in a panic last night to find most my rare stuff missing and the site looking funny but knew it would come back ;)

It's actually slower for me, but I'm stoked about the customs :]

Holy macaroni! Why oh why do I have neither custom images nor artistic skill to make ones? Maybe I'll find someone who can draw for me. But no matter what, thanks a lot for the opportunity :D
