There was actually some errors in dmesg about one of the drives so it was going to do something soon.
:ohdear:

does this also mean we will not have to worry about hardware problem now as everything is on s3 or something similar?

So yeah. Forums feel nice and snappy now. But they did in the past, so idunno if it's any better/worse.

I am happy that my posts are safe on some other server now.

I remember a picture that the old admin posted of the servers loaded in the back of his car ready to go to the data center or something. Bunch of dells and he sounded proud of them. It was after the whole katrina thing where people were defending the datacenter with guns and airdropping gasoline to keep our precious forums alive while the city went to hell.
