Can you make everyone's avatar randomly rotate through naked pictures of beautiful people?

Wouldn't everyone else get tired at looking at you and me, though, Nabu?

Good call, JL. You're always thinking of the little people; that's why I love you.

OK, whoever unbroke this sucker, thanks.

I think only Jough can do that. It has been down occasionally lately. Are we being attacked?

Cort, yeah, DDOS attacks from Southeast Asia.

We're working on it.  I was supposed to get two new mirrored database servers (one in Seattle, one in Princeton) which would help mitigate the issue, but yeah, we must've pissed someone off.

Bear with me - I'm getting the main server replaced as well in October.

The real fuck of it is that when it does crash some database tables get corrupted, like they are from bad seed and the whole forum chokes because the session table has bad data.  Just wipe it!  Who cares?  Not me!

Oh yeah, and while I have a monitoring thing set up to send me an SMS when the forum goes down so I can re-throttle the table rebuilds, the SMS system is itself not entirely reliable, so feel free to shoot me an email to my gmail (jough.dempsey@).

It could be worse: we could be suffering a Direct Distribution of SUGAH RAIN attack.

DDoSR attacks have been known to destroy boards so completely that the sysadmins are never seen again -- or are found in their rooms, white-haired, babbling about "great boarding is not a crime."

oh man. Sugah Rain. that was back when I was just lurking every so often.
In retrospect, back then I often didn't look at the names of the posters, and I was under the impression that Touamb was huge like other message boards I'd been on.

Yeah.  Aren't you glad that you have seminars bigger than this place?

Dammit... every time someone brings him up now, my first thought is one of viral self-made music videos on YouTube.

um, I don't. My classes this semester are all pretty big-ish, or medium-ish. Except my film class, which is 14, and my psych... which is 2 people. and 2 professors.

but, yes. I am glad that this is a small place.

Someone on the board with YouTube video recording/posting capacity needs to make this immediately. I command it.
