So what the heck...?

Postby dlf_kenm » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:38 pm

So you may have noticed the DLF Forum experienced a bit of downtime today. Due to excessive traffic and a really, really large database file, there were some server performance issues which prompted our host to put the brakes on the forum until we could get some things resolved.

One of the steps we will have to perform is a pruning of the forum database. This is going to involve weeding out a lot of the older, unused threads which are increasing the size of our database. My plan is tonight to go through and weed out posts and topics which have remained untouched for more than three years. This should eliminate a lot of older, non useful content, but the bummer is it will eliminate a lot of the history from the DLF forum. History which is always fun to go back and revisit. This is something we have been trying to avoid for a long time now, but at some point we have to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done in order to ensure the continued stability and performance of the forum.

I'm not going to touch any of the League Forums since there is not a lot of content there anyway. But pretty much everything else is fair game.

So if you see the number of posts drop down from the current half million or so, that's what's happening.

Oh, and there will be some additional downtime tonight around 12:00pm EST while I perform some of this additional maintenance.

Thanks!
