Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm worried about the posts mysql table. I think it needs to be repaired/reindexed/vacuumed or something. By someone who knows more about mysql than I do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's no fun. What's the source of your worry?

Well, the board froze earlier this week, and people have been reporting errors since then.

I haven't had the chance to look at the source of those errors. Are you thinking of the errors as a result of the corruption caused by the freeze, or that the freeze might have been caused by corruption?

I can start up a conversation with their tech support--or do you want to? Or should we both? Whatever's more efficient, let's go.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

If the server hung it is likely the MySQL table is corrupt. You can run a 'check' on it easily enough, that should tell you. A repair is usually always safe to run if you need it.

Yes, but depending on timing, some posts slip through.

Why is the url logo a coat-hanger... I'm missing something somewhere (possibly the brain in the head.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

A coat-hanger? Now I think I'm missing something.
