Is he running MySQL for the back end? Seems like it's always MySQL that chokes and dies when big forums get high traffic. EL's talked a lot about the powerful hardware he's thrown at the problem but it strikes me as more of a software issue.

It's a hardware/lack of knowledge or onhand support issue. You know he is in piece of shit ping and power colo with 3 stinky asses in a noc who couldn't maintain a patch panel much less a server.

Scheduled maintenance is a staple of next-gen.

vBulletin runs on MySQL yeah, and vB itself is kind of a pig.

You mean Invision Board? It isn't that bad with some medium-large forums. But I dunno if it'd handle GAF's traffic at E3. It needs to be licensed (something Tyler won't do/would remove) and still uses MySQL last I checked for the database.

Maybe more like a 21st century remake of Citizen Kane starring Seth Rogen.

Also, how will neogaf.com members be able to stop a suicide if the site is down for maintenance? Think about all the lives they could be saving if the servers worked!

Momo can correct me if I'm wrong but I think threads in vB's "archive" forum have little impact on performance. They're basically static at that point.

Dunno. The DNS seems to be a different IP from the server IP/that IP. Google uses that IP though so anytime you come in from a non GAF.com URL it's that IP and you have to relogin.

Everyone saying that the trash talk during the Killer Instinct demo was a rape joke should literally be sterilized and barred from ever adopting. Their genetic and potential parental legacies must be purged forever from this world.

I mean that absolutely literally. Like, if I had the power to make this happen, I would.

Come on. It's not like I'm outraged about it, but you have to admit it was stupid to say "just let it happen" to a woman on stage in front of millions of people. It's not surprising given the pedigree of gaming conferences, but don't act like it's absurd that someone might be offended by it.

If you're strictly talking about GAF reactions, then may I recommend finding another website to frequent? There are billions. And most of them are probably better for your blood pressure. I haven't been to GAF in months and I've never felt better about my browsing habits
