    Default Site Slowness: Server Experiencing High Server Load

    We have a ticket in to figure out what is happening, but this appears to be another DOS attack on our server to me.

    I will update as I can.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    It appears as if, this time, it wasn't a DOS attack. They terminated a few programs being run by somebody on the server (not us), and this has apparently cleared up the issue.

    I am sorry for the downtime.

    Technical note: only site users with repressed homosexual urges experienced any "database errors" this morning.

    Users secure in their heterosexuality reported no issues.


    The test results conclude that the software is working perfectly.


    Thanks for participating in this test of ClosetDetector.
