Allright, you, shut up.
Kristen, do you know what fixed the problem? Was it getting rid of the random quotes, or adjusting the timeout values?
We hadn't done the timeout value adjustment yet. Steven was going to talk to his server admin about that and then he came back to me with the 30 number. I think it was losing the quotes that really helped us out. ita putting in the explicit closes helped a bit. But dumping the quotes slashed our usage in half.
will this go even lower once the voting on the archiving, combining of of threads etc thing is done, and some of that (presumably) happens?
Yes. And it's important to note that we're in really good shape now and I would like to keep us there. I think that we can stop worrying but we should continue to try and be smarter about how we use our resources.
Great news, Kristen. Thanks for you work and Monique's, and thanks to our hosts for their patience while we sorted it out.
Kristen, btw, I wanted to email you about something (something good, not bad, and usage-related), but there's no email addy.
Very good news. Many thanks to all who worked so hard on sorting this out, and just a good old fashioned YAY!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the update, Kristen. And thanks to us all for the effort.
I wanted to email you about something
I just sent you email at your profile addy.
then turn on the RCG again, see what happens, if for no other reason than geeky curiosity.
Can't say I'm crazy about this idea. Perhaps if the day comes when I am able to monitor resource usage myself, we could try experimenting. But as long as I'm dependent on going through a chain of command to get those numbers, I'd prefer we left well enough alone.
This is AMAZING news. Yay, server people!
Now I won't have to feel like every post I make helps kill the board.
Kristen, medium-length email back atcha, board-use related. Let me know.
Just popping in to note that Kat's announcement of Buffistina Frances Lucy's arrival has disappeared from Press. I couldn't get in to b.org earlier for a few minutes, it's possible that post and others may have been lost.
