We just cut back over from the backup DB server to the primary. In the process, we may have lost some forum and news comments posts made between approximately 9:09PM and 9:30PM tonight. With luck, we didn't break anything else.

I didn't post, so all is well.
Everyone else sucks, so no worries there as well.

I noticed the pages took a little longer to load.

Thanx for the update. :D

Are we getting a server upgrade soon, or is that not in the works any time soon?

I don't know. Does your server need to be upgraded? :)

Actually, we have two bitch-ass fast servers almost ready to roll. Not sure we need 'em, but they should help during big traffic peaks.

If I have time, yeah. The boxes were bought in December, so it's really crazy. We've just had other priorities. They're still not quite ready.
