Outage & FullText

We've been having some issues with our forum db server, it's a bit limited on space right now (we've grown that much). We're upgrading the database at the end of the month to a new quad opteron with a 150GB raid 10 array and 8GB of memory. Full text is turned off for everyone until that time as the space just isnt available, and it's causing db issues in the mornings.

Cheers.
 
I got hit this AM. Couldn't connect to the forums between abouut 4:30 and 5:30 AM PST. Main site worked fine though.

When the upgrade is complete will full text be turned back on for everyone? 😉
 
Sounds like a very fancy dancy server. How much that puppy cost? 😀

Thanks for the update on Full text too! 🙂

Any word on this?

 
Thanks for editing the title since anyone looking to find out what happened to their full text search wouldn't have found this thread unless they had access to full text search. 🙂
 
So does that mean I get a refund for not being able to do full text or do I get my subscriber time increased?

No, there will not be any refunds... The search is still functional and will be back online as of this weekend.

Right, but some of us paid for Full Text.
