At work, we've had to resort to captchas (or whatever the fuck) for our notifications. PIA (I speak as a user) but worth it (as a server person.)
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Buffistas Building a Better Board ++
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just heard from meara, who says
- board has been slow and fickle on and off all day
- now unable to get in to www.buffistas.org
- was able to get in to buffistas.org (with no www), but was logged out when she got there
- even then, loading v. slow and couldn't post before timing out
other parts of the internets are fine.

Am having horrid time posting and refreshing the board this evening...as is Amych...

Huh. And now it's fine, AND apparently during all that slow waiting times, it was secretly posting our posts! Interesting....Fickle, fickle board!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm poking around right now, so response time may very well be fickle. I'm also going to wake up in the middle of the night and take the board down for a quick full database backup.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I rebooted the server this morning. Let's see if things are a little zippier now.
[edit: apparently not]

I look more rad than Lutheranism
buffistas.org (without the www.) seems to be moving at a more or less normal pace.
I can't get the www. version to even show up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Things were super-speedy for a little while this morning, but it just took me AGES to log in.
[edit: That post took no time at all. Whee!]

Compassionately intolerant
It may be of no consequence but about 15 minutes ago, I was spontaneously logged out.
Logging back in was simple as the fields were pre-filled.
No speed or posting problems.
