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!

Yay for the people who can actually submit customs, (as in, not me -_-)

The general site loads quicker for me, but exploring seems to be a bit slower on my end.

Solid state drives are definitely a great investment, as there's no moving parts to fail.

The speed seems exactly the same to me - that is, pretty dang slow. :/ I'm hoping that will change. Also: Best Downtime Compensation Ever. <3 But is there a time limit? I don't think I could make a custom I'd be happy with, and I know nothing about who to commission that could, so I don't think I could get one whipped up today or anything like it. ^_^;

I was so sad when i tried to get on early this morning, but it made it so much better to get on later to a seedy site!
