New Servers Running

[Tazmo]

In a followup to the last message of intermittent outages, I can now finally tell you that we have replaced the old servers with brand new super powerful ones that should keep the forums running fast from now and in to the foreseeable future... unless we should manage to hit a bigger than expected growth spurt :nuts! So, hopefully you are noticing things running faster, and not experiencing any outages. :amuse Who knows, search might even work soon *glares at Mbxx*

[Sasuke_Bateman]

That's pretty cool. I wonder what other good stuff could happen, me being Mod? :amazed

[ZigZag]

That's good to hear.

[Zaru]

[Revy]

Yay. :wtf

[Forbidden Truth]

I actually noticed it's going a bit slower than before. :pek

[Ramona Flowers]

[Geg]

Holy shit


Tazmo changed his avatar

[Ramona Flowers]

[Ryan]

I'm talking to my friend Tazmo, what's your problem?

[Undaunted]

One serv got replaced, not alot... and that was due the hardware issues the last days.

[Yondaime]

I like this trend.

Job well done, now you only need to fix the akatsuki skin images directory and it will be perfect!

I tried, but nobody would send me the images to upload when I asked.

[Raiden]

Thanks <3.

Really?

Alright, I'll ask Heero to get them do you. And if he doesn't ask them, I'll ask the forum. Someone has to have them lol.

Only problem is how do we get to you?


In before you don't respond :nuts

EDIT: Oh wait, I can always make a thread in SCR.

Yeah, so we'll get those to you.

Thanks again for the new servers.

Chouji rocks btw.

[Sunuvmann]

If the new servers can afford it can we get the 'Currently active users viewing this thread' feature back? I mees dat. :<

[pengiranijam]

Congrats Tazmo for bringing up new server, I can load even faster than before...

:rotfl Nice touch there

*glares at mbxx*

Didn't Schroomsnight post a thread saying the search indices were updated recently by mbxx in exchange for the Akatsuki skin images? I thought that was because those images were going to get hosted on the server from now on to avoid things like what happened.

[Bluebella]

and we still has dutch ads :awesome

or german.

That's pretty powerful. How many boxes were upgraded? And how many servers are running here if you don't mind me asking?

I know those pics dont matter much ... but still it feels incomplete :ano

I miss the KoR skin, where'd it go? :LOS

[Ripcat]

well at least everything is all running fine

[Major]

It works if you adblock all images I'd much rather vote for the no skin option, than go through that effort. ><

Oh and happy about the new servers.

Thx <33

New servers = :gar

[Sazabi24]

No more Downtime!!!!!:gar

[Sen]

Yay for it being fixed http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr75/SZKageyoshi/Emoticons/Itastars2.gif

[Kairi]

Thats for fixing it Taz & Mbxx.
I'm glad we don't have anymore server problems ;D
I also think we should have some more skins, but its my opinion <3

[Dattebayo-chan]

I was wondering why NF was down randomly the past days. Nice to hear we have a new server now, very awesome. :gar

[Miyuki]

As for those who want to use the Akatsuki skin, you can still do this if you are member of the 'No Skin' group. If you enable it then, it'll show without the annoying nonexistent images.

[Tazmo]

Yes, skins are nice. Hopefully someone will send me the Akatsuki skin images *hint hint* so that I can upload them to our servers. People have also been wanting to make Bleach and One Piece skins, so if someone does I'll be happy to add them, too! We may be adding a new default skin in the near future, along with some new features that are in the preliminary planning stage!

[Yondaime]

Ummm, I believe Mbxx already came and collected those. Check around the HR. There might be a zip with them? I don't know...

[Tazmo]

Hmmmm, Mbxx wouldn't be so tardy in fixing it!

[Yondaime]

Bleach and One Piece skins are a good idea.
With Naruto I see the end of the Manga coming closer and at some point NF needs fresh air to keep it running at the current state of activity.

[Tazmo]

Oh, I'm totally the one who uploaded those few images :P

D'oh.

Is this official recognition of the concept of having a contest to make new skins and stuff? :wtf

(seriously been wanting a green Gai/Lee one for a while)

http://www.anifreak.com/forums/skin_sakura/

Alright, if someone wants to actually implement them on the skins, all the files that were in the Sendspace file have been uploaded to those directories.

[Shroomsday]

You know why I went to the problem of finding all those Tazmo? Because Mbxx promised that if someone did, the Search Engine would be 'fixed for good'. And already it's broken again (unless the last time someone said 'Naruto' was the 4th of July).

[Tazmo]

Well... if it wasn't the Naruto Forums I wouldn't totally discount that possibility! Hopefully it will be fixed, apparently the problem is that it's really hard on the server to read through 18 million posts every time it wants to index them.

Though Google indexes us every day, so you could Google anything :P

[Shroomsday]

I believe you, but there are notably larger and more active Forums out there that manage to have a perfectly working search engine just fine. Plus it would be a bit cheeky to ask for that stuff with the promise of fixing it if it isn't going to happen.

It's only annoying because we're often completely left in the dark as to what's going to happen with the place. It took over half a year to even get any sort of reply after frequent requests to fix it, and that's just because you were roaming yourself.

[Raiden]

Why a contest?

It would really suck if someone went through the trouble of making a skin and then got rejected :lmao :lmao.

[Jeαnne]

i would try to make one though, just for the hell of it :LOS

nope, but i can learn :LOS

now i worry more about template, and stuff

[Miyuki]

That's what competitions are about. To get rejected. lol

[Miyuki]

By the way, it appears that the SQL service is lagging pretty bad. I've been getting the DB error for quite a while now.

[master bruce]

I was getting that error last week.

anyway,

i hear there are new skins coming.

[snoph]

The burgers are ready sir.

FANTASTIC!

[Raiden]

That's what competitions are about. To get rejected. lol

XDDD

I know, but I've worked with two separate people who tried to make skins, one succeeded and the other one didn't. It would really suck to put hours and hours into making the skin, lose, and then have all your work just fade with everything else.

Besides, not a lot of people on the forum know how to actually make one :/

They're already good skin makers out there. There's Mugen, Heero. We're better off just asking them instead of creating a competition that would be filled with comments like, "Uh...I can't really do anything skin related, but good luck to all of you guys!"

[Zaru]

Great new servers

Oh wait

[Hollow'd Heart]

So, this is what caused the raid? :sag

[Dave]

sure is running smoothly in here

[Suzuku]

Damn you, Tazmo. What did you do, load Windows ME on these things?!

[Mike Hunt]

FUCK U TAZMO U CHEAPSKATE MOTHERFUCKER STOP RUINING MY ALREADY CRAPPY DAY

[EkibyoGami]

lol such awesome servers, i am most grateful:awesome

[Cirus]

If this is what we get with the new servers then Tazmo should return them and ask for his money back.

[Sen]

Hopefully the new servers will be fixed soon, NF is so irritating these days :(

[Mbxx]

So. We did some updates and changed a network card. I got a little problem with one thing. Likely its fixed now. Problem is, new hardware is not so good supported by linux.

[Ramona Flowers]

I'm still getting problems with the forum not updating.

[Tsukiyo]

holy shit it's Tazmo :nuts

well hope these work better :amuse

[Mbxx]

Doubt that.

Ok now it's running fine.

If there is a problem, give me the server ip and i check.

It issue wasn´t caching. The issue were network dropouts the last days without any problem itself. Its likely the hardware might been too new and the network card drive too unstable.

I hope thats corrected now.

[Kenneth]

Doubt that.
I beg to differ, I'm still having issues with the page updating.

[Yondaime]

Well do as he says above.

[Kenneth]

I can't do what I can't understand. What server IP, who's server IP, how do I obtain the server IP?

[Tsukiyo]

you already have a server IP, i forgot how you check it though :hmm

[Kenneth]

Disregard that, it's working now. Same thing like Hollie :argh

The refresh problem appears to be resolved for me - thanks.

Ever thought about setting up some mirrors for the domain? Seeing as it's running by several servers, it might be a very good thing to do. Maybe it won't help out with the current issue but it's a nice feature for whenever users gain a DB error. Not only that but faster page loading times would be a nice help for many of us (especially those with capped, or very low/limited b/w). Maybe set up mirrors without ads?

We are talking about a extremly large database. Its not possible to mirror these things in real time.

[My Melody]

i also think the forum is running alot faster now...

[Miyuki]

How would you notice? We got these servers before you joined.

Virtualization accomplishes it just fine. And yes, I can comprehend the size of the db's you are dealing with.

Don't tell me you guys haven't considered how other large sites with massive databases are able to do it.


Or when you said, "Its not possible" did you mean, "Its not possible for us with our current limitations"...?


Since I assume you are running linux you should at least check out VirtualBox or VMWare. If you were to cluster the db's, you could easily virtualize the front end and have a consistently high rate of site resolution.

amirite.

[Miyuki]

lol, I don't even think all the servers run the same OS.
