Shit's all sorts of different now.

That can happen at your age, Sean....

I'm not getting "it" at all these days, but I'm getting the error message about every third time I hit "read new."

All is well that ends in pizza.

I take it we are hosting on a server with other sites, so a reboot of the whole server is impractical?

It may be our code, but we've been around windows long enough to know it's more interconnected than a game of "booby trap" (now called "squeezed out" for some reason).

Or was this done at some point?

A reboot is pretty much impossible given the current situation.

I'm having trouble buying into the "it's a code issue" when ita closed this place and it still happened. If the code were truly so buggy that five users could max out our connections, we wouldn't have those three weeks in between when things were just hunky dory.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I agree, Kristen.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Huh.

I just got (blink out of reality)

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

But not the error string.

I notice I get it whenever someone is posting in any thread.

The standard too many connections, that is.

I get it even when there's no new posts. It's the most insane thing ever.

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

Tom, I went into mysql to run SHOW PROCESSLIST, and every single time I tried to use the board when I was in, I got connections exceeded. I've never gotten that many connection errors in a row before. I exited, errors stopped. Still, the list only showed show processlist instead.

Here are the max% results:

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I exited, errors stopped.

Ah-ha!
