Classic Bugs Bunny (and others, I believe) also said of foolish people "What a Maroon!"
Heh. That's how this conversation got started, with the Bugs ref. As DXM notes, it's a slangy corruption of moron.

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

I didn't get that joke until I was 20 or 21. I am a dolt.
Also just got the joke now.
And woohoo on the fewer connections.
I quailed at actually calling myself a moron. Plus, maroon funnier. And conversation generating.
Bad natterer. Shutting up now.
Rob, there was nothing that would leak connections there any more than in any of the code.
Are the connections opened, used and closed all in one PHP function?

Opened and closed in one function, used wherever that function is called from.
Wow, such a relief. And thanks to Kristen and Monique for guiding us through this crazy process. It's so helpful to have some real infomation when we're trying to figure out what the hell is wrong. Go you!
Bugs Bunny was also fond of the term imm-BEH-sell (i.e. imbicile).
Just for a celebratory useless post.
sorry, i'll b'good.
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.
Yeah, especially since the other thing wasn't done. If we WERE to try something like that, we'd want to turn it on or, say, 1 day, and get the numbers for that day. But, I agree, I wouldn't worry about it.
Personally, if the loss of the random quote generator cut our resource usage in half, I'd have no objection to the quotes becoming a thing of the past. It was a nice feature, but I'd much rather we lose something that's essentially an accent than have to make major changes to board setup and people's posting/reading habits.
But it would be good to know. Are we 90 percent sure it was the quote generator? If not, it might be worth going through the chain of command to set up a one day (or less) experiment where we turn it on for a fixed (monitored) period of time, and turn it off again. In my experience it is really good to be able to recreate a problem so you know it's source. I mean if we are planning for the future this may be important.
