Title: Sorry about that...
Post by: Goober5000 on March 22, 2008, 06:32:22 pm
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.

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?

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!

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)

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.

I don't like it; let's leave it at that. :mad:

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 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

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.

If you're British or Canadian, colour is the way to go. You Americans are just too lazy to add the "u".
Title: Re: Sorry about that...
Post by: Colonol Dekker on April 11, 2008, 07:16:34 am
Ooops, misread that....

I read it as a statement of COULOUR being the incorrect spelling....

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")

Title: Re: Sorry about that...
Post by: Snail on April 12, 2008, 03:39:37 am
Not all English words are pronounced how they are spelled. Italian does not have this problem.
