Laura, FYI - we never received anything

It got kicked back. I sent a message to support at fangeek dot com. I just sent it again with the errors included. I'm not on my own computer, so if it gets kicked back again I'll just wait until I am home.

Also, what Angus said.

eta: yeah kicked back again, administrative prohibition. Maybe has to do with the system I am on at the moment. later...

So, is the verdict Fangeek?

I vote FanGeek.

And may have a site to defray costs, too. But not yet.

Basically, what Raquel said:

1) I will contribute money.

2) I will contribute non-monetary compensation in the form of paintings, comics, brownies, toys or whatever to the Geekies.

3) If the offer from FG allows us to resolve the MySQL connections problem, let's stay.

4) I could move a site to FG, if it would help.

5) If we have to leave FG, we pay for what we've already received.

Except w/ #4, I'm looking to build my own site, and would go with FG as the host once I get around to it.

Everything that Anne W. says -- most strongly on #5.

(Once I get my Body Swap story done, I'll need a site to put it on, along with some of my other Due South short fics. Which would be a minimal use, but I'd like a site that doesn't point back to my real name.)

I'm seconding, but not that enthusiastically that it need to be said twice....

I just heard from Sergei Golubchik, a Senior Software Developer for MySQL AB, that what I found was, in fact, a bug in MySQL that could cause the count of connections to get out of whack.

Since the authors of MySQL agree there's a probem, is there any chance we could get the MySQL daemon restarted to make the symptoms go away for a few weeks?

I ♥ Rob

Take that, someone!

Rob, that's amazing. Thank you so much.

Rob, you rock.
