Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Many of you noticed the site was down for a while today. We expected it to be down for less than an hour, but the transition took a little longer than expected. The result? The entire site has been upgraded to MySQL 5! What does this mean for you? Faster database access... And the addition of a new, much faster database server into the cluster.

Unfortunately, the Flash Ads were down during this transition. This sort of upgrade only happens once every few years, and I'll chalk it up to the Flash Ads still being in beta, but I'm extremely sorry that performance was impacted during the prolonged upgrade today. THANK YOU to everyone who has been supporting the ad system, I'm sure you'll all be pleased with the results!

Pico Day is this Wednesday and you can make money by running ads in your submission. More information and special Pico Day pre-loaders (with and without ads) are available in this thread!

That means we're not getting that "server error" message anymore?

I kept hoping that you would post explaining that one of the staff got drunk and pissed on the server, but my dreams are shattered once more.

Meh, I hardly noticed it, except for the slight slowdown from the effect. Must be complaints coming from people who were still at school.

And yes, Pico Day is still going to be awesome.

Nice. Fancy fixing my hub, as I think I'm going to smash it with a hammer if it loses connection one more time.

Ah... Cool.

I hope this upgrade goes on to help the users of tomorrow. Because I can say 'I WAS THERE!' when they say how amazingly 'UPtoDATE' this site is.

Thanks staff!

Clickable sig!

As for the matter of increasing the server speed, I've just run a somewhat informal test (loading up two of the largest submissions on the site: Waterlollies and Nazo Unleashed p. 3), and it would indeed appear that there has been some improvement herein. I also hope that this will see the end of those error messages concerning server loads that happened every once in a while.

Will this fix those repeated instances of "Internal Server Errors" that have been occurring too frequently?
