Just a word of thanks to everyone for your kind words of support, helpful emails, troubleshooting messages and whatnot.

The site seems to be close to its old self again. We re-arranged some tables, did some massive tweaking, let some analyzers run roughshod over our trace tables, and we seem to be back and without the timeout issues we were seeing earlier this week.

Re-commence your porn searching; and thanks again for your patience.

We’re still working on the server. It seems to have good days and bad days, and recently it’s been more bad than good. If you experience slowdowns, please let us know what you were doing (searching, clicking around, etc.) and if you were searching, what were you searching for? We appreciate your patience and continued support. (Oh, and happy new year!)

The Title/Perf/Review search was flaky today if you did a search of more than one word. I think its been tamed. As always, thanks for your patience as we work through these issues.

The fulltext indexing is kicking my ass. It’s 1:30 AM, and it’s working now… but I don’t have a ton of faith in it staying that way. Let’s cross our fingers. :-) (and if you have any experience with full-text indexes in SQL Server 2005 and have any pointers, drop me a line.) Thanks for your patience while we recover from this…

Apparently, things aren’t as rosy as once thought. We killed the banners again (temporarily) and will be working to get performance back to where it should be. Now that we’re running on SQL 2005, we have some more options available to us that we’re looking forward to exploring and implementing. Thanks for your support and patience. :-)
