Hey everyone. About yesterday, the site was very slow because it was being bombarded with traffic all of a sudden. We checked to see if it was an attack or something, but it was real traffic. We were getting 1,000's of MySQL requests a second. Something must have drawn that much traffic to the site. There was really nothing we could do because any fix would be a requirement to throw more hardware at the site. While we are now looking into our options for this, it was not something we could immediately do yesterday.
Things seem to have gotten back to normal today though.
I tried to post this yesterday, but with all of the traffic, I could not even get on.

I hate to sound stupid, but what is a "MySQL"?

And your point is?? 
It's evidently Geek Speak. I looked at the site and I still don't understand it.

Thank you
Stormybot, I know my IT people hate to put out messages like yours, preferring to just fix things, and then answer on a case basis, "It's fixed; don't worry about it," but messages like yours go a long way to comfort. This is to thank you, and to encourage more!

Not a big fan of wikipedia in a lot of areas, but this may do here...

Dovster, MySQL is the database used to operate the site.

The AA forum is not updating to show new posts. Click on any of the threads on the first page to see. I made a post to a thread on the second page and despite refreshing the page, my post does not move the thread to the top of the first page as it should have.
Edit: Three minutes later, it's working. Thanks!
