    Reason: I am currently in the process of making sweet, sweet love to the databases that make some of the other sites on this server tick. It's a horrible horrible operation that I wish I could unload on someone else, but it needs to be done.

    So...
    Sorry. I expect to be finished before midnight (GMT+1), if not, I'll probably cut my wrists or something.

    Well, the load's nice at the moment and everything's still up, so I assume you've managed not to crash the box. Congrats. :D

    Edit: I see you haven't done it yet. :mommy:

    Do me a favour and do it later today when I'm around, in case you crash the box and I need to be around to get it back up.

    I should be done with the hefty stuff, and at worst it would crash mysql - which won't really affect your site.

    Just because the boards don't use it doesn't mean the site doesn't. If you managed to crash mysql the whole site would go down.

    Errr....who are you again? Obviously Tal knows you, but would you be so kind as to let us know who you are?

    You're not the guy that robbs Tal of his milk money every month to keep the site up are you? :eek: :rolling:

    Calis's been around for ages (not on the site, but around it). Even used to post some news here years back. He's doing all the coding over at RPG Codex (that SP hosts), and a bunch of other stuff.

    Nah, I just do coding and stuff for a few sites that he gracefully allows on his server. As for the milk money, I admit nothing!

    Edit: I think I may also be around on a "former staff members" page here, even though I never really actually did anything.

    Thanks for the link Tal, I hadn't seen that info page before. It was
    interesting to read about some of our mods :)
