What happened?

[soupnazi]

frickin outages, any chance that Andrew can post something about what is going on?

[InVinoVeritas]

oh andrew?

[Andrew]

Well... there were issues.  There might still be issues actually.  I'm going to see what I can do to prevent future problems.

This is getting very T5 - think maybe someone is putting a denial of service attack on you?

[Andrew]

I don't suspect anything malicious.  It's just that here we have a website with thousands of daily visitors posting thousands of messages every day.  There's a massive database of messages that is constantly getting worked.  Something is bound to go wrong sooner or later.

I was almost hoping it was an attack by admins who don't like what's been said about their schools.

If that were the case, XOXO would have been put out long ago.

Except LSD isn't as bad as xoxo (or at least that's what I keep hearing!).
