I’m planning to install a new forum calendar tonight. I plan to back up the entire forum tonight before attempting the modification. If the modification fails, I may have to restore-to-back, thereby wiping out any activity on the forums after the back up. Stay tuned for details.
I’m checking with our webhost why we maxed out our SQL connections again. This happened over Christmas and we responded by raising the limit on the number of connections. When this occurred just now, I took a peek at our Google Analytics numbers and nothing seems out of the ordinary. I’m hoping to get clearer [...]
This Tue, 4 May, I am planning to upgrade the forum software to the current version of phpBB3. As in previous upgrades, you can expect: 1. us to backup the entire database the night before the upgrade — when the actual back up occurs, the site goes down for 5~10 min. If the upgrade fails, [...]

I took the website offline this morning around 6am (Shanghai/Taipei time) and have temporarily switched it back on for testing. Part 1 of the 2-part software upgrade seems to be stable. I’ve tested posting and replying, as well as PMing Now I need to move to a new network because these guys are switching off [...]
Sorry, folks. We identified a security bug and had to take quick action – the forums should be back (and more secure) momentarily. JFYI, our server is regularly attacked by hackers. Just in the past 24 hours alone, there have been over 600 attempts at a single entry point on our server. We continue to [...]
