Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
Bernice: When it happens, it means that the database server refused to insert your post/move because of a current overload. It's just a feature of database servers and there are two ways, in general, how to fix it:
1) Optimize the application/database code and infrastructure. It is already done and it's called BK 2.0.
2) Optimized code bring one consequence - since the site is faster, it can serve more requests at once. Which, of course, makes the site slower. It's a common problem of all sites with non-sufficient hardware. The remaining solution is to replace the current database server by a new one, faster one.
Please note that we are still running on the same hardware configuration as we started with two years ago. It's a small miracle [thanks to Liquid] that it still runs in kind of acceptable way.
