As you're probably aware we experienced some unplanned downtime today. It has been claimed it was entirely the fault of Russian Hackers. They invaded fluorine and caused the database updating code in rehash to not update the database this last site update. Which is just as well, I suppose, since two of the SQL statements refuse to complete even when run manually. That I'm going to have to chalk up to a misconfigured ndbd on helium and neon.

tl;dr The long and short of it is, we'll be fine until we can get those updates into the database, but it is going to mean more downtime this weekend.

    ...but I wish there wasn't Spam Modding.

    Yeah, me too. Spam modding got this Nigerian prince friend of mine's entire family killed. Now he needs someone with a bank account in the US to help him get the family fortune out of the country so he can escape before they get him too. I don't use banks in my personal life, so I don't have an account. I'm sure he'd be quite generous if any of you were to help him out though.
