If you've been here recently you've been seeing a lot of Internal Server Error messages... This is entirely my fault, and has been making life difficult for you all. I've made quite a few updates to how the site caches information (I've gotten several comments from people regarding how much faster beta 2 is), and they've been utilizing some pretty complicated timing arrangements. This also meant that I needed to open up different threads for pulling out information from the database for some requests, and close those database connections when they went stale.

This was probably a little over-kill, and after about 10 minutes from starting the MatchSTD.com server we'd start getting some database crashes. I finally figured out the timing, and removed what I THINK has been the problem (starting the different threads has also made debugging a little harder). Know that even if you don't see me I'm right behind the scenes working on MatchSTD and Kepty.com, each of which utilize pretty much the same components (Kepty's a little smaller, and that helps me narrow down some of the bugs).

Good luck everyone, and I'll be here (james [at] matchstd [dot] com) for anybody that needs anything,

James
