Ever since Fury left the boards last year, nobody had been cleaning the forum error log. Today I noticed that it had ballooned to over 8 million rows totalling about 2.5 GB. I tried cleaning it out, but it rendered the forum unusable for a few hours. It seems to have timed out by now, so I took the forum out of maintenance mode and I'll try another method of dealing with the forum log tomorrow.

murphy's law.....**** happens... ;)

:fistshake: You took over four hours from my life and I want them back! Nah, I'd just waste them anyway...
-
I can't click my logo again. I also can't click anyone else's logo. Not even T's. :(
I suspect this has something to do with... This server downtime, right?
-
I'm stuck here in bed recovering from major surgery, and you freak me out with something like that :sob: i thought the world was about to end :lol:
-
Yea, just before the world ends you can see huge letters on the burning sky
Sorry about that... -Goober5000
-
Carful there, Goob...we could all go up in flames!
-
Yeah! Don't you dare try and maintenance this forum until the errors are so numerous that you don't even have to take down the forum to work on it!
[/sarcam] :doubt:
-
It's after "tomorrow" so I guess it has been resolved?
hopefully?
-
Not yet.
-
So thats why I couldnt get onto the forum :wtf:, next time I'll know its your fault :drevil: :lol:
-

I don't know how many times I've told you, but the badges are the fault of someone who didn't know what they were doing, not a forum error. :hopping:

Dude, he's posted like twice in the last year, and that was to argue with Goob! How could you not notice?

Finishing high school. Senioritis is kickin' in real bad, and I'm trying to finish out the year. I've only been posting sporadically, so I don't notice when someone doesn't post or when something major happens. (It took a few days for me to stumble into Dekker's "I am sick" topic)

Well if you didn't know, his operation went well, it was about a week ago.

Yep all is well, tender, but my hull strngth is at 80% and climbing.

We were uh, talking about Dekker. I am glad it went well, and I'm hoping for a full recovery. Best o' luck, Dekker.
Well, seeing as it looks like I posted as Mobius, I'm going to assume this is April fools and that Dekker was the one who posted.
I am glad it went well, and I'm hoping for your full recovery. Best o' luck, Dekker.

Uhm... test post... kinda...

/me unleashes his thoughts on Rick Rolling.

I don't like it; let's leave it at that. :mad:
Hang on...I'm not Snail! I don't have 0 posts! I'm not Dark Hunter either! What's going on with the sidebar? :confused:
BAH! Fell for that! :lol:
-
Hang on...I'm not Snail!
The thought of me being you makes me sick. Don't even think about Mobius.

Blame the system. I never signed on to be YOU or him. :blah:

To me, log files are text documents with :error at 4563847683745683475345 blah blah, and you had 2.5 gB of it? Hardly believeable, you'd think, but then again, I don't know much about the working of the forum. By the way, what other April fools jokes have been played on HLP over the years? I'm not usually around to see them.
-
Well there was the april fools meltdown of 2005 that left the forums down for a couple of weeks because of some FTP issues.

Try looking at this post. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53083.msg1073600.html#msg1073600)

Ahhh, yes i wasn't around for that.
Quite glad really :lol:

I can't work it out :blah:

Uh, that's a (pig?) face, Colonel. Nice nose... :wtf:

Try hosting a multiplayer game with 3.6.9. There is a bug in it (fixed in newer builds) that causes the multi.log files to grow to colossal sizes, around 3-4GB, after doing ten games or so. I've made it a habit to delete that file every time I'm done playing. :p
-
lol wuts the purpose of that file?

It's...a character character - just using any symbols or characters to make a nice looking...thing...but I don't know exactly what it is. And colour is spelt wrong. :p
-

On the contrary. See my last posts, quite a bit more than two posts dated 2007.

color=green]thing[/color]...but I don't know exactly what it is. And colour is spelt wrong. :p
lies :p
-
If you're British or Canadian, colour is the way to go. You Americans are just too lazy to add the "u".
-
Ooops, misread that....
I read it as a statement of COULOUR being the incorrect spelling....
-
Coulour? Where's that from?
-
The tiny dyslexic world which inhabits my head..........
-

They are not lazy that is just how their English is. Not all countries that have English spell words the same letters. GET OVER IT.
-
Besides, we could just as easily say that the rest of the world is inefficiently wasting time, pen/printer ink, and page space by inserting a letter that isn't required for the word to be pronounced as it should be. Quick quiz: how do you pronounce the letters 'o' and 'r' placed next to each other? Now, how do you pronounce the end of the word "colour"? Notice something? :p
(And I'm offering a free sarcasm meter to the first person who tells me "but English isn't pronounced the way it's spelled!!!1")
-
Not all English words are pronounced how they are spelled. Italian does not have this problem.

That was a joke, Hades.

Humour has a bad habit of failing around here.

Oi! Snap out of it. April Fool's is long gone.

This has gone ridiculously off topic.
