True Irony

I just noticed Keith's "Forum Errors" announcement (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/announcement.php?f=1227&a=102).

Hi all,

We've tracked down the query that was disabling forums1.jolt.co.uk and producing those lovely database errors (I had 80,000 emails over the weekend from this). It's also the query responsible for slowing down the forums occasionaly and producing the long load times

Hopefully there isn't another annoying query to come take it's place, but we'll wait and see.

Thanks,

Keith Hardy

The ironic part was I got the database error when I 1st clicked it. :headbang:

It gets better. Not only did I get it again when posting this, it then doubled this thread.

I just thought the forum got slow because of the massive usage it gets from many people all around the world.

This is another irony, let's say you make one post, then another one right after that. Well the flood control system sometimes would ask you to wait one second before posting again.

Nope. And the database error =/= slow forum.

Indeed. But not always, and certainly not this time.

i too was slow the first time i saw it, but then one lonely night here on NS (i think i was slightly under the influence) it became hilarious.

lol, dammit! i actually considered this a few seconds after reading it, but then i thought "no... that's too simple. it's gotta be some sort of time-old joke, like how "r" and "l" are pronounced the same!" :rolleyes:
