Striped Wall

The gallery database has been disabled by the web host due to high traffic. My options are to try to improve the database efficiency; buy dedicated hosting; drastically reduce what is offered in the gallery; or take it offline permanently.
I will keep you posted.

Congratulations to the site for hitting 1,000,000 views with what appears to be this image. It is fitting that the threshold was crossed with a Grey’s Anatomy cap.
Of course, I am sure the gallery hit one million long ago, but with all the removing of all old caps to add the newer and better ones, [...]

You may have noticed quite a bit of down time and/or slow response the last few days. I am trying to figure out of it is the gallery, my host, or something else. In the meantime, I am turning the login/registration required on for the gallery. I really don’t like doing this again so soon, but performance has gotten much better almost immediately after turning it on.

If you have questions, please comment to this post. Thanks.

Go to the gallery, and you will be presented with the login/register links.

I am not sure if it was a mySQL problem or the DNS attacks that my host was under, but it looks like the gallery was down for a while. It is back up now. If anyone knows anything about secondary DNS services, feel free to drop me a line.

Activity is finally back down to normal. The gallery login is now turned off. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

And hey, if you dig the site and buy stuff at Amazon, consider going through The Store to contribute toward webhosting costs.

There has been some suspiciously high activity this weekend, so I am turning the login/registration required on for the gallery. If you have questions, please comment to this post. Thanks.
