Looks like the shuttle may be preparing to do a flyover at the Johnson Space Center.

Yep, he's lined up to fly right over it, and has descended down to 7,000.

Same here.

Big threads of this nature can be problematic to the database. At 20K posts it simply makes sense to archive.

I thought we broke FT with post # 20,000... :)

It was the snow and ice in IAH that broke FT. :rolleyes: Never thought I'd see palm trees that were snow covered.

We didn't even have accumulation on the North side near IAH (except on cars). I saw some ireport photos on CNN from the East side of Galveston bay where more than an inch accumulated. :eek:

I can kind of understand it but in a thread that handles no pictures, no avatars, etc. the load is only text, this shouldn't be that big of an issue. Sounds like someone needs to load-balance the MySQL instance.

There is not one specific database or table dedicated to this thread. Instead, there is likely a single table in a single database that holds references for all of the posts on FT. The 20k posts in this thread are a drop in the bucket when it comes to FT as a whole. When loading an individual page of The Box, the query pulls only the last X number of posts to generate the page - it's not pulling down all 20k+ posts.

Plus, there are several other threads on here that contain far more posts.

Is there bad blood between the Flyers and the Senators?

I did, thanks to Delta Air Lines.

160,000 Delta Air Lines SkyMiles did the trick, and because Concorde had already stopped flying by the time of my return flight, I was refunded 40,000 SkyMiles.

That reminds me: I really do need to finally finish this trip report...

France (via Concorde?), Malta and Southern Italy

Hat trick. Well played.

Believe me, it was not intentional or purposely planned.

It was a matter of pure luck.

Read the trip report. You will see that that was not the only part that was pure luck...

As a former Philly (area) resident, I am proud to say that there is bad blood between the Flyers and everybody!

Pocket OAGs or the big phone-book variety, which also includes International routes?

Pocket-size, domestic US.
