(Another) Planned Site Outage Today: 10:30am PST
The Site-Ops team is completing the final phase of database movement today. To facilitate this we’ve decided to put the site into maintenance mode for the duration of the move. This is scheduled to start @ 10:30AM till noon. The time window is longer than we expect the tasks to take. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
For our fellow geeks out there, here are a few teaser shots:

Great job with the site, guys! I downloaded a fuck-ton of stuff last month, but the site never complained and took it like a champ. My ISP wasn’t so understanding though, and I got a phone call threatening to shut me down if I didn’t cut back some.

Who schedules an outage for the middle of the day?Already over the long time window, too. Porn people for you.

OMG !!!
Just when I needed a good ol five knuckle shuffle !!!………………………..
Still got so downloads to have a blast off to, so no wucking forries !!
January 30th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Most people work during the day. And download porn at night. Just sayin…

I agree with alison, but in all fairness they said it was going to take less than an hour and a half and that was almost three hours ago……

I agree, for a porn site, “production” is nighttime and weekends, not during the day.
With that said, they are running over on time – hopefully it’s imcompetence and not that they lost all our porn!
Lastly, I’m glad to see I’m not the only porn-addicted sexual deviant, that keeps checking back for when they are going to be back up!! haha

Noticed the guy with a Wisconsin shirt. Where are you guys located. Cali?

I’m a geek myself and I do undarstand that moves like this take time. If they get the website backup Today they did the job and I hope they had a lunch break.
January 30th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Isnt it just typical for geeks to say less than 90 mins …… hey guys just be honest this stuff takes time ……. tell us the truth …… say 6 hours
January 30th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
6 hours? oh no.
i don’t think i can wait that long without going nuts :/
January 30th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Hey atleast put 1 video lol
January 30th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Hold up! What if you work at night and are off in the day time? That would totally ruin your day, that’s like going to work with a loaded gun, but luckily I work in the day time and Alison comes and visits me after work so I dont have to get on the site that much…lol

I remember seeing an apology for so much anal sex … I still think you should change your site to “all anal all the time”.
Think it is time for me to look for a site that “cares” about it’s customers.
January 30th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Two things.
Firstly can’t let Strangepork get away with the use of the word “fuck-ton” without an honourable mention for best adjective ever to be typed.
Secondly, those pictures you posted, they can’t be legal. They are more hardcore than most of the rest of the porn on here put together. (In an uncontrollably geeked out way)
Thankyou for listening

Just curious… what kinda database servers did you update to? I just racked a dual-quadcore-xeon for a contract job and let me tell you firing up the OS on that thing was ALMOST as arousing as some of the footage on the site. And do you run a mysql backend or does it not scale far enough with the traffic? I’d almost assume such a huge outfit would need to rely on an oracle backend or something of the sort.

The pics of the thing that makes me so happy.

MySQL on Linux. Gotta be. Fast read operations and pointers to media on drive. Ton of space and fat pipes for the leechers we all are.
Will you consider adding additional fields to the tables such as the release date mentioned in Rope’s latest post and fields for male actors?

Honestly, San Francisco data center’s have it sorted! I haven’t seen a miniature forklift device like that before.
I can’t really see what that kit is, but i presume by the weight (your using a miniature forklift after all) it is a disk array. Looks nice!

To have a go at answering the above; the entire site is based on Apache, so my guess would be that it is a LAMP setup. You should take a look into PostgreSQL instead of MySQL however, it really is very good and performs much faster.

Jeezus guys, I watch Porn to get away from my day job in IT, this is like the wife coming with me to the football and pointing out what everyone is wearing in the crowd |-)
