Jerome isn't being used effectively. His powers would better be suited to only guarding the server room from Stosh.

Sorry, I can't hear them over the sounds of Modern Warfare 3 on my Turtle Beaches.

Forums are a bit slow and getting a lot of errors when posting or going to other forums.

Same here. There are also certain threads that I can't even open, like the FAQ on Bnet titles is one of those for me.

Intermittent process slammed a disk drive on one of our database servers, sorry about that. We think we have it isolated. Hopefully you should be good now.

edit: And by shouldn't, I of course mean should. Sleep is overrated.

Wake me, when you need me.

Goddamnit this is seriously pissing me off now.

I'm getting the stupid forum error on damn near every post right now. And Bnet is taking ages to load on occasion.

Rage.

Anybody consider that it's going so slowly because we are all trying to access it and it's not even supposed to be public yet?

Also, if that is the case, it means it's also slowing down for the employee...he's probably going to just get up and go to Outback for a nice Bloomin Onion and we're gonna all be left sitting here wondering what the heck just happened to our mystery man

I'm just going to blame Stosh if that is okay with you...

So is this a one time thing? because for the past few days there would occasionally be like ten-minute time frames of which I experience slow forums and page errors.

Should be. Usually, server performance is well-defined and entirely regular. However, there are necessary occasional tasks that are difficult to predict, often due to things like those tasks being performed by programmes written by people who left the company a decade ago (a personal favourite of mine, that one, though it's got nothing on having a server break down and having no idea where it actually, physically lives).

If those tasks take up more resources than they usually do, in this case pushing a drive beyond its capabilities, those regular tasks that happen all the time, us posting to the forums for example, go all out of whack, end up in queues they shouldn't be in, or get dropped and don't happen at all and all sorts of things.

Then you get a cascade of things that shouldn't be happening, making the original problem the proverbial needle in the haystack to track down. This is made all the more complex by the fact bungie.net is actually a collection of servers that have to talk to one another, syncing up their individual processes on the order of seconds and minutes.

Distributed systems, even relatively simple ones like b.net are a literal mind-blam!-. Hence the easiest way to fix whatever happens is just to shut. down. everything.

Going into my recent posts is definitely taking way longer than the usual. It's 22:21 Bungie time.

(Just thought I would leave this here, I'm not complaining)
