My dwarf-in-danger-alarm-is-ringing!!! Quick team get to the morph-mobile!

Oh my GOD...is Enworld next to impossible for anyone ELSE to log onto?

Most of the time I just get timeouts! I'll try to post now that I'm actually on...

I'm perma-logged in, but yeah posting is ... challenging.

The trick, i find is just to wait and let it do its loading thing for like two or three minutes. You'll get through.

I think it's an anti-hacking measure.

It's certainly effective against posting.

I haven't forgotten about you -- unfortunately, with the summer months and good weather, the game has slowed down somewhat. Rest assured that your pc is being held against his will somewhere, waiting for someone...

Well, as long as he's being held against his will I'm ok with it ...

I'm just enjoying reading the IC thread.


Yeah, it's been really slow lately, not as bad as right before the update, but frustrating nonetheless.

Apparently not hacking... just Mysql problems.
(Not that I really understand what that means...)

MySQL is the database backend (what manages all the post/thread/blog data). Its currently theorized that the connection between the database and the web server which shows these shiny pages is borking out every 10 minutes or so, causing the delay.

That's the theory, anyway...

I've been proposing in each of the game threads I'm in that we move the game away from Enworld...to one of many other PBP sites.

Ironically, the first time I tried to post this message here, the board hung. Emphasizing the point.

I can no longer guarantee that I'll be posting to Enworld in a timely manner, or even be able to read posts here regularly.

stonegod,
Thanks. I really didn't get the tech conversation.

Yeah. It's preeettty frustrating.
Do you use firefox (3)? You can usually go back and forth and recover your posts that way. Lovely function.
I also always copy-to-clipboard before I hit post.
But I have a lot of flexibility right now.

Personally I think it'd be impossible for me to actually move all my games. There are just too many now.

I will be on vacation from July 29th to Aug 7th. Traveling with little or no internet connecttion (I think). I plan on posting at least once more to this thread before I go. Sorry for the short lead time.
