Ironic Problem on Planet MySQL
Trying to dig into what's been happening in MySQL-world over the last week and bumped into something that I've seen many times elsewhere, but did not expect to see on a site run by MySQL AB/Inc:
That is, of course, the error indicating that MySQL has reached it's connection limit and won't allow the page I requested to connect to the database to get the necessary information to display page 2.
Rumors are that there's an internal server infrastructure redesign underway. Maybe that includes the Planet/Forge server.

The specific problem this morning was something un-related to MySQL that put so much load on the server hosting planetmysql that queries got stacked up. But it doesn't take much...
That machine is relatively ancient and what with the huge growth in traffic on both our forums and PlanetMySQL, just can't keep up.
So the rumor is true. We are very close to completely a major overhaul of our web systems and network infrastructure, and part of that effort will be to move PlanetMySQL, the Forge, and all the other public sites to new servers, as well as to deploy MySQL 5.1 into production as our primary read slave.
