Why does the site keep breaking?    I get the shakes if I can't get my fix you know..  

Yes, I keep seeing multiple daily occurences of the Error 500 server error
Each outage seem to last from a few minutes to 15-30 minutes.

Not sure what is going on...

Cheers,

Maybe the server is a separatist?  

Me too! Thought I was the only one.

Nope I have had that for almost 2 weeks now

didnt think i was the only one.  but didn't want to say it first.  just in case i was the only one and it was something i did.

I have openly complained to our web server, and it seems to have fallen onto deaf ears. I am as frustrated, if not more that you all are.

MacPhreak and Websherpa are working on changing servers. Wayne has gratiously offered to host maaca. We should have some news soon.

PHEW!

I thought it was just me too!

Maybe the server is a separatist?  

That's not it.  If that was the case, it would still work but would only display in French.  Or if English were used, it would automatically make the English font smaller than the French font.   Wonder if Bill 101 apply's to MAACA?  

Can we get Go Daddy to host and have the Go Daddy ladies come out to league nights?

Me too. 500 is not fun  

Let me know if you can't work something out with Websherpa for whatever reason.. I can also host for free, no strings attached.. (I'm currently also hosting CGCC.ca)

Motives

The most popular motive is the desire for attention and for entertainment derived at the expense of others. Posted flamebait can provide the poster with a controlled trigger-and-response setting in which to anonymously engage in conflicts and indulge in aggressive behavior without facing the consequences that such behavior might bring in a face-to-face encounter. In other instances, flamebait may be used to reduce a forum's use by angering the forum users.

'Shabobble's Thread Decay Theorum' [1] states that

    'In a given discussion thread, the topics of the first post will be repeated as the thread increases in length. This is due to new discussion members not taking the time to read the full discussion, or old members not reading new posts. Frequency of repeats is a function of the rate of new users joining the discussion multiplied by the rate of new posts being added.

F = k * (noob / second) * (posts / second)'

This then results in the thread degrading due to veteran thread users flaming and newbies trolling.
[edit] Resolving a flamebait

It is often hard to determine who is really responsible for the degradation of a reasonable discussion into a flamewar. Someone who posts a contrary opinion in a strongly focused discussion forum may be easily labeled a "baiter," "flamer," or "troll." Therefore, it seems especially important to make the rules and focus of a discussion forum public to avoid misconceptions about its accepted use.

Taking the bait or feeding the troll refers to someone who responds to the original message regardless of whether they are aware the original message was intended to provoke a response. Often when someone takes the bait, others will point out to them YHBT for "You have been trolled," or reply with "don't feed the trolls." Forum users will also frequently "rate" the troll as means of acknowledgment, with statements such as "0/10, the obvious troll is obvious," or "10/10, I raged."

The conclusion to a flamewar precipitated by flamebait is often determined by recourse to Godwin's Law.

Very interesting ! Here ' s a french saying " J ' vais m ' coucher plus intélligent ce soir , ça parait mieux que de dire , j ' vais ' me coucher moins niaiseux " I ' ll be happy to translate hit for you , if needed . By the way , i ' m aware about this thread ' s subject . I also get the "500" message and yes , it ' s a pain in the AZZ .

As for your coments , my answer should ' ve been taken lightly . The liberals  will drag us in voting booth , trying to get the Harper government out . That is a pain you know where and i ' m certain we both agree on that point ...  

Hey guys, f*** the politics OK?

We all love pinball and that is what keeps us from "separating".  

As for the country, Im pretty sure that as long as we keep filing our taxes they will still be there too.

Ya man ! pin ' s the best hobby ! To my point of vue , anyway !!!

I think you missed the tongue-and-cheek part of the comments.  The smileys are supposed to point out that it was not serious.

I am surprised there was no PM to Sparky messages.

What was the original topic again?

I have delayed relaunching the site on my servers simply because we were reviewing possibilities for "software improvements"    With my trip pending, the transfer may not happen this week, but I am doing what I can to expedite it (i.e. me getting off my but, installing the software, transfering the database, etc.)

Quoted from Monkeybug

...What was the original topic again?

Separatist... uh... server errors.  

Sparky's tidbit of the day: If we don't learn to laugh at ourselves a bit, we make the world a dark and crappy place.

Nothing wrong with talking about politics, but I have enough gray hairs on my head to know that any discussion about either politics or religion always end badly. I guess that's why I am a anti-political atheist.

But let me just say one thing about politics... it's all a bunch of lawyers. You figure out the rest.

Does "software improvements" mean a 5 minute delay for Gory, on all For Sale ads, to giive the rest of us a chance

Exactly...  Never meant to turn this thread into anything political, just poking fun is all.

Now about those gray hairs you mentioned.... PM SENT TO SPARKY!!!

Or maybe posting announcement emails so that we are actually emailed about new postings to the classified sections....

Yeah, stop crapping on my thread!  Let's get back to brass tacks here... which was complaining about MAACA.

Considering my geografical location , i should be OK , unless Gory plans a fishing trip in NS . If it ' s the case Gory , you ' re welcomed to stop at the Donnacona pinball B&B ...

Oh ya ! The topic was the "error 500" thing , i think ???
