All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part IV

[GethN7]

Good: Load balancer is up and running, seems to have ameliorated some of the 504s quiet a bit.

It's been 504ing for least four-fifths of the time, all day today. This is not "ameliorated" - it's worse than weekdays.

(I'm typing this in between repeated refresh attempts of a wiki page so that I can edit it. I've been trying to get a simple, less-than-one-hour project done for the last five-and-a-quarter hours. Yes, I'm upset.)

Bad: We're still getting some 504ing (though not as much apparently), John said he's going to hit up Dusti about the possibility of a third server for further hammering down the load issues to zero, said we don't have to, but if we want to chip in to get it, it would help.

Me, I just want  max performance, so I'm for it, and I'll be happy to PayPal some funds for said server, but I'd like to know how you guys feel.

Make it happen. Get rid of these damned 504s ASAP. How much?

 

I made our position loud and clear. For what it's worth, Dusti agrees with our position entirely and told John as much, and he's asking how much we can pay.

Update: Several people on Orain have already thrown money at this problem (me included), we now have another server, and John is currently working his butt off on fixing it.
