Ok, so, this afternoon I will be doing some coding to bring back the stats page.

Posted by Beryllium (iPhone) (aka grayman) Aug 9 '09, 10:01

When it gets hammered like two nights ago, it just causes an unacceptable load on the database.

I'm not 100% sure the best way to fix it, but I have some ideas I'm tossing around.

One of the more drastic ones is to take the username/password out of post boxes and make an actual ST login page that you'd have to use before you posted (but it would save your logged-in state for a month at a time, if you told it to, under ideal conditions). This would allow me to hide some stuff behind protected authentication.

For now, though, I think I will just tighten up the complex queries that can bog things down.

Responses:

would it be possible to implement a "delete post" function? aka the Drunk Regrets Removal function -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 9, 11:23 3
- Only if they also allow everyone to vote on removal of others posts. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 13:03
- Drunk Regrets exist for a reason. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:25 1
  - I was going to say JackDawson, but I don't think regrets are part of his drunk repertoire. - the liioujlu with j Aug 9, 13:28
