Day Two of new servers
It looks like all the game stats have replicated. Now we have to let all the table changes catch up to allow us to query the stats correctly. As always we are doing our best to get things back as fast as possible. Steve and I are a little burned out on this end... it has been a battle. So if we seem a bit snappy in the blog comments or support emails, sorry!
Update 12:19pm CT
True to form we are still having problems. Something is degrading performance on the front-end. Things are going to be up and down while we try to troubleshoot the problem.
Update 2:28pm CT
Alright! Performance issue turned out to be Microsoft... the presence feed was adding 20 seconds to every page load. I have a 10 second timeout in there but for some reason it wasn't obeying it. But by commenting it out, things have sped up. I am now running blogs for 9/28... so look for those!
Also, due to the craziness I think we are going to play it safe and give everyone a free pass on streaks up through 9/30... just because we don't need the support emails right now. ;)
Update 8:16pm CT
Alright, it looks like all blogs are there through today (9/30). So that is the data we have and they are posted! The fact that we can run 3 days of blogs in under five hours shows your how damn fast these servers are. It use to take 3 hours to do one day!! Finally... something is awesome for a change... I am a happy guy. We still have leaderboards, game stats/days played, and badges to get back to normal... but if we have blogs... I am happy. :)
Hey, I'm in IT, I really feel your pain! You guys are awesome! You deserve to be able to snap at anyone who whines about the server - you are both wonderful guys and this old broad appreciates your hard work and dedication!
*hugs*
Kitty, the Canadian Gramma!

oh, I hate having problems with stuff like that.
I got big issues with my home network which I somehow can't resolve.
and I agree with kitty. if people know how much work you guys put into this they wouldn't have complained at all.
Wish I could have been there to help out, but it's hard from my current location.

Just incase you guys havent spotted it I posted a comment and the date was 1/1/2002 Is it possible some of the problems is being caused because the server date is wrong or is this just localised to comments?

Consider how much hard work you guys have been doing trying to fix problems that are well beyond your control, I think anyone who had the audacity to complain you would deserve a right hiding.
I'm eager to see my blog going again, having only registered a few days ago. Keep up the hard work; you'll tackle the problem eventually.

They deserved to get snapped at. Do what you have to do and take your time. Good luck and the site is most definitely appreciated!

Your latest update suggests we should start looking for updates for 9/28. I don't even have an update for 9/27 right now. Just an FYI.

Emowii - Looks like your entries are there now.

Yes, everything seems to be back to normal now. :) Great job fellas! Hopefully the site continues to grow now with the new servers. Love the site!

9/28 is missing on my blog and as far as I remember, the text from 9/29 describes my 9/28 gaming achievements and the text from 9/30 should be 9/29.

sorry for double posting, but I just remarked that 9/27 is missing too.
Posted by: Sicho84 | October 01, 2007 at 02:30 AM
I hate these "me too!" posts, but nothing for 27th or 28th for me either. 29th and 30th are there. No sweat if they're lost forever I still love you guys!
