Hmm. I see in the stats that it hit pretty much 100% downtime for a period.

Okay, I just deployed one massive fix.

I'll now look at my older database code to see if I need to port the patch into that file as well.

Update: Patched the other file too.

I'll be studying the server logs for a while.

Four hours of downtime (25+ % chance of error on every request) before I got home from the gym just now as one of the servers was stuck retrying a deadlocked database query. Yikes.

I'll deploy my fix when I get to work. We'll see if it fixes the issue.

I haven't yet deployed the change I spoke of in my last comment.

I'm on board with the account-switcher functionality. I think it's even on the big feature wishlist.

Bad users are going to create new accounts to circumvent bans no matter what the rules are. Honest users are going to link them together because they want the convenience. So a multi-account limitation only punishes honest users.

How I'll probably implement it (simplest/easiest for me to build) is that you have N number of slots on your edit-profile page. You put the username/password combo for each account you want to link together and click "Save". Now your current account and each of the linked accounts will have some quick-login dropdown or something.

Found a bug in my database query retry logic that's probably responsible for the periodic catastrophic failure as the Guild hits 100% CPU. The reason the Guild has only had this issue recently is because I rewrote the logic to improve it the other week. Made it worse.

I will deploy the fix later today and hope it fixes the issue.

Ugly Cry Button

Agreed. I'd like to add some more in general.

It must've resolved itself. o_O

Looking into it...

Edit: Found something big in the logs (database deadlocks). Will look into a fix tomorrow.

@crazyorpg @Logend:

Logend was accidentally banned today. I unbanned Logend so they should be able to post again.

I'm really sorry for the disruption. :( I made some changes to the system to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.
