Is there any way to find out if other websites hosted by the same server we use are having similar problems?
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
None of the other users Kristen knows of are using MySQL. But there are others on the server, I'm pretty sure.

Fangeek doesn't host anyone else using MySQL. As far as I know, no one else is reporting the problems we are. Then again, I don't know that anyone else on Mercedes is running a fairly active discussion forum.

If no one else is using MySQL, can our hosts restart mysqld? I bet that will make the problem go away for a while.

I'm going to say it again. Asking IH for anything at this point, other than our final bill, not an option.

I don't understand that. And it seems to be awfully common in ISPs response to us.
Is there something defective with our money?
I mean, that's just crazy. We seem to be able to prove it's not on our end. Why won't any provider work with us to try and solve this problem?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Is there something defective with our money?
Yes, there is. We're whining and taking up their valuable profit making time.

I don't understand that.
Well, to be fair, they did go further than most hosts would. But it's the law of diminishing returns. How many hours do you spend dealing with a single client before you start to consider them a liability?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, are we just doomed to wander the interweb? Seriously, what can we do at this point? Long-term?

Note: that is more of a general question, not just to Kristen.
