santo=dorf Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 But my ignore list filled with banned users!!! I wouldn't mind starting over, but please keep those who were banned from here to remain banned. No second choices for those guys. Are you going to wait until july 31st like KW to see if this thing needs to be blown up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linnwood Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I wouldn't care, but given that I am relatively still new here and have a low post count that isn't exactly shocking. I guess this week, before the second half resumes, would be the time to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 question: how long would the board be down? If only a couple of days, I say do it now. If not, wait until after the baseball season. Also, TalkBears, TalkBulls, etc. would all remain the same, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have 9,413 reasons why you should start it over. I should also change my user name back to J.Reedfan8 just for ol' times. It doesn't bother me at all neither does the joined/member#/whatever. Light the fuse Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFanForever Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I say go for it. Long term improvements can only mean good things. Plus, it will give me a fighting chance to bump my post count against people like ss2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have planned this out better but If I could find time and work with Kap on it we could potentially do it in a day sometime before the ASB comes to an end (of course that doesn't mean it will work out that way as we are still exploring some other options).

sox4lifeinPA Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 as long as my name stays green and everyone continues to ignore me and I get banned every 6 months, yeah, sure, do what you want. Now we can compete with Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 03:46 PM) you guys do this for free, so whatever is easiest for you guys. I agree.

quickman Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) It has come to our attention (and has been so for a long long time) that part of the problem with our database stems from an upgrade we made around 2 years ago. The upgrade caused a lot of errors in the database (and our db is huge) and these errors lead to slower queries and the db sticking from time to time (in my non technical terminology since I don't know the technical terminology, lol). I think the only way to ever really solve this problem (aside from going to a database specialist and paying a couple thousand bucks, which unfortunately is not an option, unless of course I win the lottery) is to start the site over. By starting over I mean installing a brand new version of the message board (no posts, no anything). The only potential thing we would be able to restore would be user names. This means nifty things like post counts and all that would be gone. However, we would plan on saving our old database and creating an archive (so that people could still look back and see all the old posts). I figure the long term benefits (faster site, able to search, doesn't crash when big news happens, etc) would be well worth the short term losses and hassle. I just wanted to throw this out to public opinion though to see if you all would be overly dissapointed or if you would be okay with this (basically if so we'd test it and make sure that the db was in fact the cause of the problem and if it wasn't, we would than bring back the old database and continue to see what the cause of the server issue is). This site should be able to handle a lot more than it does and we want to get it set up so it can so that we can continue to make and turn this into a better place. whatever you want.
