Major suckness.

docwebsterI am feeling violently, almost homicidally angry and I have absolutely no concept as to why. That's the worst, when you can't even put a name to the problem. If you can, then it's halfway to being solved.
I do know that ever since I started this diet, I haven't just had mood swings, oh no. They've been entire fucking mood amusement parks.
And what REALLY sucks is half of you won't even see this until Livejournal gets their head out of their ass and turns the non-paid users ability to read their friends pages back on. One thing that REALLY pisses me off is these arrogant twats who look down their noses and say some variation on "pay or get out". Hope the air's good up there on Mount Olympus, you arrogant proles.

Date: 2003-10-01 05:18 pm (UTC)Due to a temporary surge in traffic caused by Speedera's caches filling up with everybody's userpics, we have to temporarily restrict access to friends pages. We're rushing to finish the new friends view code which uses memcached. It should only be for the afternoon (next few hours). As traffic drops tonight we'll turn friends pages back on.
Paid users can still use their friends page, but we're closing off our payment area, lest anybody think this is a marketing ploy to get more sign-ups. We care more about the site being fast than your money.
The rest of the site will still work for all users: comments, recent entry pages, etc. And hopefully it will work a lot better than currently, as friends pages are the biggest burden on the databases. We feel it's more important for the site to mostly work than to not work at all. Of course, our goal is for everything to work fast, and hopefully that'll happen tonight.
This is something we don't plan to do again, and regrettably can't be avoided today. Thanks for your understanding. We're all working as fast as we can....
