Libraries down for maint
Saturday, January 11, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
The SQL server is pretty maxed out which makes it very hard to do monthly maintainence. So we've closed the skins library to all non-apprentice / non-WC subscriber users to reduce the load.
We expect things to return to normal in a cople of days.

Yeah, but more people visiting the site means more people skinning and that's a good thing right?
Relax sweetie, the Easter Bunny will be with you shortly (or it could be a fuzzy bunny...)
p.s. just checked this week's lotto ticket and the £8000000 has gone to someone else

Fuzzy bunny? Oh boy! <----Notice my excitement came back! 
(It doesn't take much for me does it? he-he).
Awww. No lottery luck? Phooey! Don't be blue...
FuzzyL, you're right...it would be good to have more artists/skinners here too...I hope WC will be able to keep up with the message boards!
Angel_Wings gets a carrot for the wee fuzzy bunny...

There won't be a new server in a couple of days. What we have to do is analyse where we can save on SQL queries.
A site like this has 3 resources constantly at battle:
Bandwidth, Scripts, Database.
The first two are fine. The third is maximized. The result is that the site becomes extremely slow for everyone. That becomes pretty unfair to people who have paid money for subscriptions and bought software.
HOpefully by the end of the day on Monday (or Tuesday) we can find some ways to speed up the SQL.
Ultimately, it will need a new server but that won't happen right away.

I'm tempted to register but how will I know that if I pay for the subscription this site won't goout of business in a week? I've seen that happen way too often! Will this site even be arround for two years?

Hey Stix, no one gets on the wrong side of ande he hasn't got one. I was only lamenting the fact it took me ages to type your nick. Dont worry i'll just call you Stix much easier.

Ande, you actually 'typed' that?! I usually use copy paste for names over 6 letters or ones with odd symbols...

Whoever 'frog face' is, 'may' be a 'stupid ass', however personal attack and/or public name-calling towards any members of this site WILL get you exiled.
Since this site's establishment it would be quite safe to say it has the best reputation for consistently being 'on-line' than any other Skinning site in History.
Name me just ONE site which has been 'up' reliably longer than Wincustomize.com...
The first [Customize.org] is in its second 'coming'.
The [arguably] most historically significant site [Skinz.org] is also in its second 'life'.
Both had quite lengthy down-times between 'versions'.
Same goes for Deskmod.
The 'smaller' sites....LOS is now ArtUproar.
Skinbase shuffles off the mortal coil now and then.
DeviantART has had rough times when it's unavailable.
And I won't even MENTION what happens in the LiteSTEP world....

so is there a possibility that the free part of this web site will vanish and people WILL have to pay for a subscription within the next couple days? Just curious...

Only problem is that things change all the time when the page is reloaded. Like new things added, etc.

Angel_Wings feels deflated. Vicious circle indeed!
Dang, can't argue with logic. Well, I guess my 3 seconds of excitement is over.
Fuzzy, just please don't tell me that Santa and the The Easter Bunny aren't real...I'll surely have nightmares!
