sparhawk Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Well, the site IS down quite frequently lately. Don't know why. Quote Gerhard
Dram Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah true, it's quite strange. I have'nt visited there in a while though. Quote

sparhawk Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 I know the theory yes, But I never bothered to actually apply it, as it is mostly boring. Quote Gerhard

sparhawk Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 You know, when I first noticed that TTLG was down, one of my first thoughts was, that this is an amazing coincidence and wether somebody would raise such a point. I guess it just couldn't handle the load because of all my double-postings. Quote Gerhard

sparhawk Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah. It was DPDOS attack. Quote Gerhard
OrbWeaver Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 I could never understand the "double posting database load" issue. Surely the board software would not make a separate query for every single post in a thread, this would be prohibitively slow? I would expect it to do something like "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE thread_id=31672", where the actual number of posts returned is not important. Also, since there are a limited number of posts per page, even if there are extra queries for each displayed post (to retrieve user name and location settings, for example), having double posts wouldn't actually increase the database load at all. I suppose if you make multiple posts you take up more "slots" on the page, which reduces the amount of conversation visible at one time, but this doesn't affect server load.

ZylonBane Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 There is almost certainly no such technical issue. It's just something the admins say to scare idiots into not posting idiotically. Inasmuch as that's possible. Quote
sparhawk Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Well, it didn't work in my case. I know that this "technical" explanation is total bullshit, and might work for Al Bundy. Quote Gerhard
Komag Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah, but I do personally prefer to read everything someone says in a single post, so when the post is done I know that's what they had to say, instead of being surprised to see another post right after. But I also know about the "respond to two or three posts above" thing, one at a time. Is there some forum update possible to allow you to mark which posts you'd like to reply to, then hit reply and you get the quotes from them all, nicely laid out for you? Quote
SneaksieDave Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 It's not down... You've all been banned! Quote

You can do it on this board. Sadly there is no such facility in the software TTLG uses. Quote DarkRadiant homepage ⋄ DarkRadiant user guide ⋄ OrbWeaver's Dark Ambients ⋄ Blender export scripts
New Horizon Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Yeah, I really love that about this board. Just hit the quote button on any thread you would like to respond to. Nice and sweet. Quote
