FunFoll Up, FunFoll Down

As I said on the sister blog FunFoll @ WordPress I am very busy maintaining www.funfoll.com so I don't have so much time to write here. Still, today I'm very pissed off about something, so here I am. So what happened? Our dedicated server in Germany experienced some problems today. This is because of another software we're running there, CaryCary. The Apache log also increased to a proposterous size (3.5 GB). The CaryCary log was 2.5 GB and the database 4.5 GB. We cleaned everything up and after a few hours, the server was down again. CaryCary experienced an even worse problem and the log file increased to about 6 GB.

All this happened at a moment when we needed it the least. Why? Because www.funfoll.com was in an excellent period, better than anything we experienced in the past 3 or 4 months. We had more than 4000 visits per day. And all this came to a sad end today. Due to our own mistakes (we have to admit this!), the big wave passed us and I think we will be lucky if today we exceed 1000 visits. So, it's back to square zero for now. Or at least a long way down. Right now, again, we have to wait for months in a row for our popularity to recover from this hit. We just wasted good moments because our website was nowhere to be found when people came rushing in. So yeah, I'm pissed!

And guess what I do when I'm pissed! I go www.funfoll.com and...

Sing!
