Sorry about the downtime but here's a quick summary of what happened and some updates.
1. Server was being overloaded by something (perhaps a rogue script that i forgot to add closing statement to the connection or something)
2.) the host tried to fix this overload issue, but misconfigured the server instead - so the server had to reloaded
3.) /TMP folder was causing the sql(this is what powers this entire site since it runs on tables) service to mess up (hence the internal errors)
We're probably due for that upgrade anyways. But whether or not that upgrade is worth it, depends on how neopets goes. Since malling is almost dead anyways.
At the same time, tnt updated the coding that disabled the use of and signs (&) which renders the &mall link useless. these things still work from the hut though. As a result, the work around is to make the links that contain &mall capital. (i.e the person's username would be in caps) I'm hoping this will work but before i go ahead and start updating the scripts, i'll wait in case tnt adds more changes.
P.S. Anyone who might be able to guess how much RAM/CPU is needed to run this site on a semi-dedicated server, let me know - thanks!
