Our wiki has been causing some issues lately. Some of the code and plugins are outdated, causing lots of error messages to pile up behind the scenes. While troubleshooting a brief site outage tonight, I noticed the log files alone from all the errors basically took up all the space on the server. Obviously this is a problem. So, I'm going to make some changes:
I apologize for the brief outage tonight. I really try to give you guys the highest-quality environment to RP in in terms of speed and software. You may have noticed I've been battling overly-aggressive bots lately and these issues with Dokuwiki are basically amplifying the bots' impact on site performance because every time a page was loaded, Dokuwiki was writing down errors.
If all this goes over your head, that's okay. Sorry to get all technical. Just know that I've identified the issues a lot more clearly now and I've got a better plan to solve them.
The best thing you guys can do to help the site is to keep RPing and posting on the forum.
- I removed well over 100 GB of unneeded log files that were filling the server's disk space, and disabled certain types of logging
- The wiki will be moved to its own server to isolate any issues it has.
- Plugins that are causing error messages, unless vital, will be removed
- I'm going to make a new version of the wiki's style/template/theme
