[KingPandemic]

I only noticed three.  Perhaps I have more of a life than I realized.

I love you.

You'd better... if you didn't... i would be a stalker... and a pathetic one at that...


Fred - the stats increase is amazing.... how does conversion look?

Thanks Fred, Priscellie and everyone else.. I actually thought it was something going on with my browser or my IP not the site..

Not much difference in the number of clicks, though I think that the increase in impressions has increased the overall value ascribed to those clicks -- it's looking like a couple more $ per day as a result.  That said, I wouldn't turn down more.

I grabbed a few more Border's coupons and clicked on some weird crap just for the hell of it.

Thanks for keeping things up and running!

i have 2 questions

1 how exactly does a site crash

and 2

how do you fix a crash
i have always wondered about those

[iago]

Crashes seem to happen when the website makes too many heavy demands on the software and database and CPU vs. the "quotas" placed on those and other limitations, so the software just gives up and says "I can't take no more!"

Recovery is basically getting access to the tools on the machine where that software runs and beating them with a virtual wrench until it coughs out some puffs of smoke and gets back to puttering along.

Speaking of which, Pris beat on the site twice more yesterday.  She's really doing an astonishingly great job with this.  Folks should shower her with praise and, hell, presents.

I gave her virtual candy yesterday-does that count?  Of course, I was probably doing something I shouldn't have been at the time, but that doesn't really matter.  The important thing is I gave her candy.  Right?

In all seriousness, Priscellie really is a Goddess.  I tell her this all the time.

I haven't even noticed the downtime. Granted, I've been here at 3am a lot lately, but even then there have been quite a few guests. You guys are totally on top of it, and good on you.

what are these guests?

[cassandra]

Unregistered visitors, wandering through to check things out. I was up 'till after 6am today, and when I last checked the forums had between 20 and 30 visitors. That's a lot for that time of day, particularly since guests outnumbered members all night long.

Unveils Priscellie's Garden, a lush place of rich vegetation surrounding hottubs fed by natural hot mineral sping waterfalls, staffed by Chippendales dancers in natural fiber loincloths serving cool refreshing drinks and hand feeding hors d'oeurves.

For You, My Dear... - oh, and here's the little button to reset the site when it crashes, right here under this rock. Careful, the one to the right is for the volume on the surround sound. Enjoy!
