rustedheart said: Thanks for the announcement. At least we aren't waiting for nothing now :) |
| Thanks for the info~ I hope the issues with editing history will be fixed as well, though I don't really mind now XD I just have to be extra careful :| |

| There is still a huge data persistence problem :/ |
| I'm also of the mindset that taking the server down for a few days to fix it will be better. Thanks for the update, too. |
    |
| thanx for telling and good luck! >w< hope it's fixed soon! thankyou! |
 Check out~ ♥ Some quality AMV:s made with love ♥ My Youtube |

 And that's it. Na-no-ne/De-aru/Relo XD |

Third'd. ShadowChao said: AO968 said: Yoshiage said: teanut said: This really has to stop you know. Oh noes your free service has some hiccups THIS IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE It being a free service does not mean we should accept major site failure. It also does not mean we should be an asshole about it. Someone needs to be. Just because it's free doesn't mean it can be tossed aside, especially with how many people use this site. I don't know what Xinil does in his daily life, but keeping this site working well ought to be a priority. Not his top priority, of course, but a priority nonetheless. And with how long these problems have lasted without any word until now I worry about these things. Remember, the success of a site depends on its users, the people who visit it. It's simple customer competition, just like in the real world. You obviously have never worked in the web industry before. Sometimes, shit (like errors in your databases) do happen. Sometimes, changing one little thing on the website can cause something completely unrelated to just suddenly break. Sometimes, these things take time to find and fix. Especially with a database the size of MAL's. It's not like the site was down for a week and no one made any effort to fix it, it was a few hours. Practically every site will occasionally have issues and need to go down or limit access for a period of time. That's a fact of life that anyone in this industry will tell you. Yesterday was the first time since I've joined this site that I've noticed it having any significant issues, so I would say that the admins do a good job of keeping this site up and running. |

Then apparently you haven't been using the site much recently. It hasn't been down, but there have constant issues over the past month or so, some of which still aren't fixed. |
| Everyone complaining about the site should just be glad they have a site, and a free one at that. :/ And at least it's not completely down. |

Redfoxoffire said: Have to agree here that there has just been too much left to fester. As someone who actually has managed lots of web servers, I have to say that this is really not acceptable. If there's a nasty downtime from a hard drive failure or a dead fan every 6 months that's forgivable perhaps, but this is a planning failure and not a hardware one -- nor will it be solved just by throwing more hardware at the problem.Celenas said: You obviously have never worked in the web industry before.

I know that multiserver database problems are complicated, but whichever consultant crave hired to help configure the database servers obviously did not do his job properly... complain and ask for advice, or at least get a discount on a follow-up to put these db issues to rest. There also needs to be someone else to turn to than just Xinil as well... it's obvious that there is not enough budget/time going into bugfixes and improvements, and I'm not sure if that's because Xinil's time is limited with other jobs or Crave is just stingy with the pocket book.... but it's rather depressing and everyone who uses the site regularly knows there's lots of things that need fixing. |

Onibokusu said: Aw, but it was so much fun going back 2 days in time every refresh, and then being greeted by a MySQL error on a page in the present time. lol +1 |

Onibokusu said: Though Crave doesn't do anything active in the community itself (that I know of), they do a lot of stuff behind the scenes configuring and managing things. MAL's servers live in their data centers (or at least their rackspace at Net2EZ's data center), and I assume they've paid for the recent server addition and other hardware.As far as I'm aware, I've never seen a CraveOnline representative on the site. Maybe I just haven't used the forums enough in the past, or have just not been paying attention, but I thought that Crave might have some kind of representative on MAL, or a direct way of contacting them rather than having to go to our good old friend Google. So, yeah, maybe the community needs some way of "bitching to the mother of its adopted child." |

| Anyway, good thing you finally found the error. I'm sorry, but if your website was properly programmed, there shouldn't be any errors in it, except some major security failure, things except performance issue shouldn't happen in any case. But I wonder, are you alone about this website ? Maybe you could have some guys over here like me that could lend a hand :) (Even if honestly, I don't think that CraveOnline would let any stranger have access to the website's source and such) |

pedosensei said: @Celenas, then you probably registered yesterday, regardless of what it writes next to your avatar. For someone who seems to make excessive abuse of the quote function, you have a too strongly well favoured opinion of this site's admins. This site has a long history of being frickle and ridden with SQL errors. If "changing one little thing on the website" causes something completely unrelated to just suddenly break, the site is written amateurly. Or perhaps I realize that they're human too and am a bit more forgiving when it comes to giving the benefit of the doubt. Shit happens. Sometimes it's human error, sometimes it's not. As someone who's worked in this field, I'm a bit more sympathetic towards people who run websites of this magnitude and all the crap they have to put up with, especially when it's a free service (regardless as to whether they actually make money from it or not). I use the site almost everyday, and while there are occasional errors, there's hasn't really been much of anything significant enough for me to even bother making note of. Sorry if my difference of opinion offends you so much. |
| thx for the info sir... |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| Yes take it down if you have to, one day or 2 wont kill us you know =) |

Odds are you'll be saying "I don't know why anything is working!" and looking like an idiot. One little line can make a huge difference when you're running a site. That aside, I don't feel that mere coding is the issue here. Feels like it's more than just bits of broken code here and there... Sweetheart, I build websites for a living. And I'm a big enough person to admit that I'm human and have made stupid mistakes in the past. Guess what? I made the effort to fix them right away and made sure they never happened again instead of sitting them dumbly wondering why it isn't working. |

(: the other rude people on this site where just irritating. they don't need to be dicks about the whole situation; i know i was being a bitch but i wasn't a bitch to Xinil; I was a bitch to people who deserve to be bitched at. |
