Yeah, for just a minute.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

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

So...what really affected our positive change?
I figured out why ita's explicit closes were needed, even though the PHP manual says they aren't, and why they weren't working. It's nice that both PHP and Apache are open source so one can dig around in the source code and figure out how they really work.
That said, I don't know that there really has been a positive change. Turning off the quotes can't have helped much. I do think our hosts changed their configuration in a way that made the leaking connections much less lethal to the server.

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

And why is that?

Sorry -- I didn't know you'd verified the theory. Have you submitted it to the developers?

But didn't that bug of mine you pointed out, which wasn't fixed until after our connection usage dropped mean that the explicit closes weren't responsible?

Rob, feel free not to believe me. I'm not arguing the point with you.

Did the board just go away for everyone else?
It did for me.
Apparently the mere suggestion of turning the quote generator back on has the power to crash the board. Oy.

I haven't submitted anything anywhere.

I think our connection usage dropped because whe now have a much shorter idle connection timeout than we did during the bad times. The default, which is 8 hours, which would let us easily get 200 connections sitting idle. The current timeout is 5 minutes, which would make it harder to get to 200 idle connections.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre
The Quote of the Day(once ita has time) seemed like a cool idea that would protect us if the refreshing quote was doing damage. I agree with whoever said it'd be like having a theme for each day.
