Explanation why the Board keeps going down (everyone read)
 

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database
------------------------------------------


Haha gotcha.
Stupid Board.

wtf is this post all about?

in joke

Well I tought you could explain,I guess not...It's hard to keep up with this site.now up, next minute down. oOo:

A REAL explanation is this:

This site not only uses simple HTML web code, but also databasing. This databasing stores all the information for AA.COM: The files (some), the avatars, and all of our posts. Everything.

This type of database is called a MySQL database, extension .SQL. This database is called on everytime you make a request; download a file, post a reply, send a PM. This action is called a "querie". A querie, or querty is a action sent to the database like a bullet. And, the database returns it to you, the user.

So, picture AA.COM's database, being the #1 source for Allied Assault. Daily, it must get over 100,000 quertys. When more than a specific amount of quertys enter the database, it tends to "lag" or just mess up the way the database thinks. The result? PHPbb Critial Errors.

Think of it as a german who keeps sticking his head out of the trench, gets shot, lays down for a while gets back up, gets shot again etc. oOo:

I hate when that happens.....seems like all the time. Must be a very busy site!

It seems to just get overloaded. For example when the SH demo came out you couldn't get on this site for nothing and then they release the full version and the samething happens. Guess what when they released the patch it happend again.

i strikor left i think the database would stabilize.
