Today's downtime was the result of the post table crashing after the hard drive filled up. It took a number of hours to repair the post table because it has 9 million records and is extremely large. We have taken some steps to ensure the hard disk does not fill up again by disabling the logging on the offending applications. We do not expect this problem to recur. We are currently investigating options for backing up the database tables weekly.
edit: In the future, during downtimes when the web server is not available, stop by irc.tribalwar.com #tribalwar for updates.
If that's down too, fucking panic.
