Fanfiction.net Type 1 Errors

[hanfastolfe.livejournal.com]

Anybody else getting errors like this when they go to their story or user stats? I e-mailed support about this a couple of days ago, but still this is happening. (>_<)

(I've blacked out a couple of things because they could reveal personally identifying information, but this is the gist of the error message)



(Added 08/31/2015 : The error no longer happens, but it looks like all stats accumulated were lost once the Type 1 Error started happening)

(Added 09/02/2015 : And now ff.n is throwing 503 errors on the author page)

(Added later on 09/02/2015 : No more 503 errors! Stats are still missing for the days Type 1 Errors were being thrown, but at least now I can see my stats page again!)

I would, too, and punish them if they didn't stay on top of stuff like this. And I'd have them purge all the Bagginshield stories in the Hobbit fandom and also have them purge the Durincest stories. I don't read stories like that, but the very idea of Fili and Kili being like that is offensive to me, as well as Thorin and Bilbo being anything other than good friends. I would also have them ban the authors that write that trash. They are sick if they only write that kind of stuff. I'd also have them purge The Lord of The Rings fandom of all the slash stories and only allow stories with relationships that are true to the books on the site so it would be pure and we wouldn't have to read anything offensive. I'd also have them not allow any foreign authors to post stories on this site and make them stay on their country's version of this site, and I'd have them man the profile hit counter constantly and they could sleep in the building so they wouldn't be too far away and I would visit them every day to make sure they were behaving, and if they weren't, I would send them somewhere else to work.

Wow, you're talking censure there and that's not the topic of this post. More importantly, maybe you have a problem with this kind of stories but it's fiction and hurts no one. You may find it repulsive or whatever, but, still, censure. Not good.

And foreign author here, writing fanfics in English, hi! Why don't you try to make your own site if you're not happy and have incredibly ridiculous demands? We'll see how it works =)
(I hope you're joking.)

I wouldn't mind if the admins actually deleted the NC-17 material on FFnet since it's against their rules.

But, take it from someone who managed databases for a living, working on a website this huge is hell. It's a freaking lot of data. If you try to optimize a page for it to load faster for example, you'll end up with a problem somewhere else because there is a high probability you'll forget about that variable you just changed but which is also called from another page. It's a nightmare, and I'm not even talking about the database parts of the job.

FFnet can work on their communication, yes, but otherwise, give them a break.
