Error with Foes

[jkisha]

So, my solution to the anticipated Spam situation was going to be to Foe the spammers, but I can't. I keep getting this error

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Got error 28 from storage engine [1030]

I've been getting that same error since last night...
the last time that happened, ( a week or so ago,) Trilo was able to fix it,
but, alas...
who's left at this time who can do that?
We may be S.O.L. for now...

I'm getting the same thing. It was working yesterday but not today. Maybe our foe list is too big for the database.....LOL

EDIT: The UserCP doesnt work either.

I don't think the foe list has anything in particular to do with it...
(I have no foes)
The last time this happened, I was trying to send a PM.
This time, I was simply trying to read my 'subscribed' topics.
It worked until last night around nine or so.

That particular error isn't specific to the foes list, it's a general SQL error that's sort of the electronic equivalent of bumping our heads on the ceiling. The frenzy of ticket spammers and scammers (yes, that's what it is when people post shitloads of threads and posts to sell tickets) plus the massive wave of PM's that accompanies all those posts led us to hit a capacity limit that affects things like the messaging system and friends/foes list. After a little time goes by the system thankfully resets itself. It's on a growing list of things that I'll be looking further into during the off-season.
