Instability

[GrandOldTeam]

Hi,

We've had an issue recently, causing the forum to be inaccessible in the early hours (GMT).

The server technicians are;

We're looking to do a full database check for any corruption/inconsistencies today.

... Which will cause moments of downtime/odd errors.

@roydo is coordinating this, any questions please send him a message.

A baby that has decided he doesn't want to sleep between about 3.30am and 5am, I usually sit there going through the NSFW Gif thread and Girls of the World Cup thread with him, so he has been absolutely fuming as well.

Ah of course.

I forget people have babies.

My bed time is on par with yours, I wouldn't voluntarily get up to check the site was up and running.

Literally the only good reason for the world Cup ending is that I get to go back to going to bed at a reasonable hour.

@GrandOldTeam I have it on good authority ^^^ that this is all @MoutsGoat's fault

Can you explain to me the difference between bits and bytes?

A bit is worth 8 Mike Tysons, and a byte is worth one Luis Suarez.

If you've more than 3 bytes on your computer you may be getting banned.

It was quite a bit shorter tonight, but it did happen again.

Can you explain to me the difference between bits and bytes?

0 = bit
10001010 = byte
01100110 01100001 01110100 01110100 01111001 = goat
