Technical issues

August 31st, 2008, 1:18 AM EDT

As some of you may (or may not) have noticed, Alan.com has been intermittently going up and down for the past couple of hours.  We’re working with our hosting provider to determine what the problem is–something, somewhere, is overloading our server, and we’re waiting to hear back from the system administrator to see if they can help us determine what the issue is.

 

In the meantime, unfortunately, we’ve disabled the chat stream since it’s possible that it is overtaxing the database.  Once we’re able to figure out what the culprit is, we’ll re-enable it (or some alternative).

 

If you notice anything that seems particularly strange, or if you get any error messages, please feel free to leave them as comments on this post–they may be helpful clues.

 

Thanks for bearing with us!

Responses to this post...

  1. why don’t you guys consider moving the website to another host? Downtimes are too frequent…

  2. Alan, I’m sure it has to do with a recent surge in traffic due to your disgusting post questioning Sarah Palin’s ability to be a mother.

    BTW, when you drop your Y chromosome and get an X, let me know.

  3. BCC, the host itself isn’t the problem (we use the same company that Starbucks, Diesel and many other companies use). If we can’t determine what the underlying cause of the outages is, then there’s no guarantee that moving to a different hosting company would solve the issues.

  4. I think it’s got something to do with the chat stream. It seems like whenever you disable it the site returns to normal.

  5. Well, gee. I wonder what it could be.

    Perhaps the reprehensible insinuation you’ve perpetuated, about Gov. Palin and her child?

    Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder. So to insinuate — and don’t kid yourself, here — that she caused it by finishing a speech after her water broke is patently immoral.

    And personally disappointing.

  6. to ADMIN

    yea I see you’re using Media Temple. Actually I’ve heard they’ve had some problems with their grid systems. I don’t know what kind you’re using but my guess is Starbucks and Diesel are on dedicated servers.

    anyway, this may have nothing to do with your issue…

  7. We’re actually not using their grid system (though we work with people who do, and who couldn’t be happier with it). Something somewhere is overloading Apache on our server, and the key will be figuring out what that is.

  8. If Alan is fixing it . it will be more ‘f’ed up! LOL.

  9. Could a post with unusually numerous comments cause the trouble?

    There are 175 comments and rising, on the subject of Palin’s character as a mother. The previous three posts have one, sixteen and ten comments, respectively.

  10. That’s definitely a possibility, but disabling the chat stream alone seems to have made a major impact on the site’s performance.

  11. LOL, [if] we notice anything particularly [strange]?
    In liberalland? LOL!
    You liberals are ALL STRANGE!

  12. :)) jerrysrollin, I think the chat stream didn’t like your religious fanatical preaching, and so it crashed the server… why don’t you go bother John Gibson or other conservative hatemongers, instead…

    ADMIN, I really hope the chat stream can stay. It’s the best new feature on the site.

  13. Strange that Media Temple would be having this much trouble. They’re supposed to be at the forefront of “anti-crash” technology from the “Digg effect”, which I think Alan’s post greatly resembles.

    I was considering using (mt) for my own site, now I’m not so sure….

  14. LOL
    Admin , do you see what’s happenening on Alan’s last thread about Palin’s baby? It’s INSANE :) I hope the server can take it :)
    Where did Alan get so many extreme far-to-the-right conservative hatemongers reading his website? It’s hilarious. That is by far the most popular (or should I say infamous) thread I’ve seen around here lately.

  15. Either the entire conserative party are logged on at the same time or just the entire state of Alaska. LOL!

  16. Conservative hate was re-routed via conservative blogs!

    Anyway, I love how everyone keeps trying to accuse Alan of accusing Princess Mooseburger of birthing a mentally retarded child on purpose.

    He asked a judgement question about a 7 month pregnant woman who just had her water break GET ON A 12 HOUR FLIGHT TO GIVE BIRTH after giving a 30 MINUTE SPEECH instead of doing the SENSIBLE THING AND STAYING PUT WITH A DOCTOR.

  17. Tried to post on the Pre-Natal care thread (circa 8/31/08 4:00AM EST), but the thread seems to have been disappeared. So, I’ll place it here in the interim:

    Mr. Colmes,

    What, exactly, is your major malfunction? Did you cite this [concern over 5-time mother Palin's prenatal care] as something that you actually believe has merit? Is it a cynical method to draw traffic to your site because you want more exposure and/or money? Is it some thought experiment to see how much bad blood you can induce from the ideological Right to make some disingenuous point?

    Or is it because you’re just another offensive liberal hack among a growing list of them embedded in media committed to smearing those with whom you disagree politically?

    What a disgraceful and obnoxious display. Don’t think the public isn’t aware of your motivation however you decide to spin it on H&C or the radio… assuming you have the guts to debate it and get exposed by the likes of Sean Hannity.

  18. You can bet that it’s the PUMA people jumping all over it. As usual they come in with preconceptions that are completely wrong when Alan did not even mention a link between that and Down’s syndrome.

  19. Did he really have to link the two. The article pretty much suggested it. Maybe you and I understand that Down syndrome is not caused by anything you do during your pregnancy but others will come to that conclusion from the article.
    How is it anyones business?
    Question her on issues and policy…thats all we’re saying.

  20. No doubt, your hate filled post about Gov. Sarah Palin’s disabled child had something to do with your hosting issues.

    I do find it odd, however, that the post seems to have been removed, without comment.

    That’s not true blogging. Genuine blogging is transparent and honest, even when we make mistakes.

  21. there isn’t any technical issue, he just deleted a post he’s embarrassed to have made. nothing to see here, Kommisar Colmes never posted that trash about Palin’s motherhood….it’s a capitalist trick!

  22. I couldn’t agree with you more bcc, and I do hope thatthe chat stream remains a part of the the new site is a refreshing addition. And I too with the neo-cons would go bother hannity gibson and rush instead of spewing their hate over here, To the moral majority, this country was founded on three principles, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If my pursuit of happiness differs from your religous moral views I have a right to them any of you that would stilel them is anti american.

    Once again love the chat stream and hope it is back soon
    GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and keep fighting the good fight Alan, you rock!!!!!!

  25. Hey Allen and the rest of you dipsh**s! Since when did lib’s get so righteous? Oh, silly me….since Friday afternoon.
    Another thing, all this talk about her water breaking and going on a plane. Her water didn’t break, she was leaking amniotic fluid. Same thing happened to me, no big deal, my doctor let it go for a couple of days. Sheesh, you guys are grasping for anything.

  26. Technical issues, my eye! You are trying to provide yourself cover for removing the slimy smear about Sarah Palin and pre natal care.

    Alan, you used to be reasonable and respectable, and were one of the few liberals who could make me listen to the opposing side. But in recent years you’ve become a liberal parrot, repeating some of the most vile and iconsequential garbage that comes from the far left.

    Toughen up, Alan. Re-post your smear of Palin and accept your punishment like a man.

  27. Alan Colmes, shame on you for your smear on Sarah Palin. You have sunk to a low that I would never expect of any decent human being. Do you honestly think that you could allow your personal attack of her to go unnoticed?

    Your “technical issue” revolves around you deleting a filthy thread about a woman. This is how you liberals operate. You smear someone and then remove the post, saying oh, nevermind. Dailykos does it. Democraticunderground does it. Huffingtonpost does it. Now, you’re doing it.

    Shame on you, Alan. Shame, shame on you.

    Sean needs to ask you about this on Monday’s show.

  28. Its probably one of the wacko’s that keeps calling and saying you are satan doing a denial of service attack

  29. There sure are a lot of conservative “consipacy theorists” posting here.

  30. Alan,
    Don’t Hate! Although, I realize it’s about all you have. I also understand that you have issues. After years of toiling away, along comes this upstart Hannity, who suddenly has more media presence than you have presence. But again, hate speech is not the way to gin up attention. Keep positive, keep your nose to the grindstone, and you might just develop something of a following.
    But I doubt it.

  31. Gee. Maybe its the large number of visitors who are coming by to check out Alan Colme’s cruel attack on Gov. Palin’s baby with Down’s Syndrome. I noticed that you pulled the page, but this is the internet and your incredibly mean spirited attack on a woman and her child will be around forever.

  32. Technical issues likely related to the purging of posts that show what a total tool Alan is.

  34. Alan

    Your post questioning Gov Palin’s care of her baby was very low. I have known of you since way back when you had a radio show that I listened to on the way to work in San Luis Obispo Ca. Have to say you did not seem so leftist then. But this one is the last straw you have become a moron. No turning back now keep going and soon you can enter the Michael Moore club of total idiots.

  35. Alan, I used to view you as someone I could respect, but no longer. Your slimy attack on Sarah Palin was nothing short of obscene. I don’t blame you for pulling it down, but don’t think it wasn’t caught. I’ve already seen many screenshots of it, and I no longer have any respect for you as a pundit. I can see why your site went down. Do you and the rest of your liberal buddies think that you will win by engaging in Palin Derangement Syndrome? HAH! I now know who the REAL haters are in this country – Liberal Democrats!

  36. Dipshit:

    Why do you remove a posting and we get the dreaded 404. Is it because you are ashamed of what you wrote. Then have some balls, and apologize and leave the posting up. Alan you are just another spineless weasel liberal who lost his balls upon birth.

    As for your website problem It come from people like me who upon reading what stupid things you write. Post comments.

    By the way baldness is caused by excessive masturbation. (Makes as much sense and Downs syndrome being caused by poor prenatal care).

  40. Why not put the article back up? I sincerely doubt that the article itself causes your problem. The problem more likely is that Colmes sees what a firestorm he created with such an idiotic post. Just imagine his furor if someone had remotely suggested something similar about his “darling” Michelle Obama….it would have been a racist, sexist intrusion into her personal life of course..

  41. Another example of the kind tolerant left. As a Canadian, we get the same crap up here from our Liberal leaders. No one is dirtier, scummier, filthier and nastier than a liberal who is desperate.

  42. Trev, yea okay, true blogging? We are talking about Alan Colmes here. He is a dem tool. Therefore there is no honesty. If he were a real man, which of course he is NOT, he would have apologized for his comments. But to admit he was wrong is beyond his nature.

    I laugh at those who scream about conservative “hate mongers” here on this site. Apparently they don’t read any of there fellow liberal hate mongers. Idiots…..the whole lot of them. God bless you all.

  43. It’s too late, Alan. Some people have screen shots of your recent Palin baby post. Your colossal ignorance about a GENETICALLY caused condition will circle the Internet. Typical liberal: does not know what he is talking about.

    And your quote of an obstetrician just foreshadows your liberal idea of health care: don’t get a medical history, don’t follow the patient, and give medical advice over the phone without seeing the patient. Alan Colmes’ liberal health care plan. Typical liberal: work from ignorance, it is a strength.

    Where is your courage Alan Colmes? Why did you take down the post Alan? Why remove the comments Alan? Alan? What? Nothing to say? I guess you just aren’t able to take responsibility for your actions. Alan, you are the typical liberal. Typical liberal: Try to remove posts after others point out how genuinely stupid they are.

  44. Lesser people have lost their jobs for more innocent comments. You’ve demonstrated a particular lack of knowledge as well as cultural sensitivity. I’m particularly embarassed as you have chosen to use my name in your website.

  45. What’s the real excuse, Admin? We’ll wait while you check your server logs.

  46. [...] page. He removed the post in question, then he tries to explain it away with a post titled “Technical Issues“. I love this quote from that post: If you notice anything that seems particularly strange, [...]

  47. Strangely, this link gets a 404 error, when it should get your story on Sarah Palin’s failure to get pre-natal care. Link: http://www.alan.com/2008/08/30/did-palin-take-proper-pre-natal-care/

  48. Brave man to take down your ugly post alleging that Sarah Palin didn’t properly care for her baby. You are such a girl!

  49. ["Did he really have to link the two. The article pretty much suggested it. Maybe you and I understand that Down syndrome is not caused by anything you do during your pregnancy but others will come to that conclusion from the article."]

    The article did NOT suggest any such thing, and the first of the two links contained in it clearly stated that Down’s was a separate issue that was detected much earlier. The only people that suggested such a thing are the ones that linked you to the post. This is typical fanatical behavior — finding evidence where there isn’t any and acting out in a disproportionate and irrational manner.

  50. I saw a screen capture of your botched hatchet job (are you a back alley kind of guy?) on Sarah Palin. Pre-natal care indeed. But I didn’t realize it was you, the flaming liberal on Hannity &, until a second site linked your name to the post.

    This note is to let you know that you are no longer welcome in my house. And to let you know that my first move is to write Hannity and Fox to put your pointy head on a pike. You could and should resign now and save us the aggravation of tar, feathers and a railroad tie.

    For late comers, Colmes posted this:

    “Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care?

    “Rogers Cadenhead gives the timeline associated with the birth of her newest child. She had a speech in Dallas and, even after the water broke, continued with her activities, and then boarded a plane for home. She did consult by phone with her doctor.
    “Still, a Sacramento, Calif., obstetrician who is active in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said when a pregnant woman’s water breaks, she should go right to the hospital because of the risk of infection. That’s true even if the amniotic fluid simply leaks out, said Dr. Laurie Gregg.”

  51. There is no technical issue with his website. The issue is that he made an unbelievable idiotic statment about the health of Governor Sarah Palin’s baby and now he is in a boatload of trouble and has caused such turmoil amongst women. What idiot doesn’t know that after age 35, women have a higher chance of having difficulties with pregnancies to include the baby having Down Syndrome. How dare he do such a thing. I love the Sean Hannity Show but I can’t stand to look at Alan’s ugly face and hear his idiotic remarks on the show. I hope his statement has put a nail in the coffin of Obama’s presidential run.

  54. R[obin Parker Meekins said: "The issue is that he made an unbelievable idiotic statment about the health of Governor Sarah Palin’s baby "]

    He did no such thing. He only posed a QUESTION about *her* JUDGMENT. NOTHING was said about the baby’s condition. The only link being drawn to Down’s is by the commentators who had it suggested to them by the fanatics that led them there.

  55. There’s a screengrab of Alan Colmes’ beyond-disreputable post here:

    http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/08/31/you-stay-classy-alan-colmes.php

  56. [...] Jaru summed it up on a previous thread. [...]

  57. What is the point of his pre-natal care post, exactly? She consulted with her doctor and together they decided it was acceptable for her to continue and have her baby in Alaska. And she delivered a healthy baby boy, Down Syndrome aside, which all relatively intelligent people understand is genetic.

    Funny, how Alan and all of you other pro-abortion fanatics have no problem whatsoever when a woman makes a personal & private decision to murder her unborn baby because it was best for the mom. But somehow it shows questionable judgement to decide to travel in labor and deliver in Alaska. All of this garbage just further highlights the hyprocrisy of the left-wing. Experience doesn’t matter, except when you are the VP candidate! Matters of the body are personal & private, except for deciding how and where to labor and deliver! You hyprocrites. Darkness cannot stand the light of truth.

  58. JZY SAID THAT ALAN COMBS DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT QUESTIONE SARAH PALIN’S JUDGMENT. LIBERALS DON’T ALWAYS NECESSARILY HAVE TO COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT… YOU CAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES WHAT THE ARE INSINUTING AND THE LINES HAVE BEEN DRAWN NOW SO WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH THIS “QUESTION” HE PROPOSED LEAVES OBAMA AND THE LIBERALS OUT IN THE COLD!!!

  59. Alan Colmes is the “luckiest man on the face of the earth”, his good fortune of sitting across from Sean Hannity has allowed him access to mainstream society, how undeserved. It seems all that thoughtless liberals, socialists, Marxist, income redistribution freaks can do is attack their opposition without any thought to good taste or accuracy. Sarah Palin is more than qualified when compared to “The One”, Barack. She’s done more in the 13 years in public life than than Obama has in his entire life, same goes for Biden, 36 years in the U.S. Senate, sounds like a professional “beltway politician” to me. Where are the real accomplishments of Obama, nothing? Everything he touched in Chicago turned out to be a failure, he accomplished nothing, be “fair and balanced” Alan, try pointing that out. It seems EVERY association he has is in some way corrupt or anti-American and with the election still 60+ days away there will still be some eye-opening revelations to come. Alan I religiously watch “Hannity & Colmes and I forever scratch my head and wonder has a “pod” taken over a decent life. BREAKING NEWS! Alan you’re a “pod”.

  60. [Robin Parker Meekins]

    Why, then, does the first article he linked clearly state that Down’s is a separate issue? I made no such connection and actually read through his sources, which from what I’ve seen is more than I can say for the people making these comments.

    That isn’t reading between the lines, it’s flat-out putting words in his mouth.

  61. I think he did the responsible thing. Now, if you had just stopped at calling Alan dirty Jewish baby killer, he maaaayy have let it slide. Calling Barack Obama a various plethora of racial slurs was completely inappropriate as well. I’m thinking it’s not the first time it’s happened on Alan.com, but just a wild guess.

    But political posturing of a child with Down Syndrome is disgusting.

    He didn’t say, “What kind of mother runs for VP with an infant with Down syndrome?” He didn’t say, “Did she take all of her prenatal vitamins?” He didn’t go as far as some Republicans as to ask if she practice sodomy in the bedroom as I doubt Alan (or other dirty Jews like myself if you want to keep slinging) is in the business of figuring out what people do in the bedroom.

    No. Governor Palin made a very clear and very public questionable judgement call that endangered a seven month old fetus and…well, bragged about it.

    But if those who dislike Alan or his political views want to turn this into something much bigger – and nastier – than what it is, you may think you’re advocating your own cause, but you’re really just using an infant child with disabilities for your own political agenda because you have nothing else to stand on.

    And when that doesn’t work, you attack Jews and Muslims and black people.

    Alan did the responsible thing by closing the thread. He’s a journalist and a public figure. And in case you conservatives forgot, this is also his blog. If he saw a thread spinning out of control because of its highly insensitive, bigoted, racist and ethnocentric tone, he had every right to make that judgement call.

    And that’s a judgement call I’m not going to question.

  62. Go right for the juglar don’t we. Beat your opponents with ideas not by personal destruction. You libs just never seem to get anything right. Gee I wonder why my website doesn’t work? You arn’t that stupid are you?

  63. The thread was not closed because of bigoted, racist and ethnocentric tones. It was closed because his remarks were so uncalled for that he got himself into trouble and as usual, liberals try to sweep things under the rug instead of being adult and admit that they said or did something wrong.

  65. Will SOMEONE (Sean, maybe??) get Alan Colmes teh MEANING OF DOWN’S SYNDROME? It has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH pre-natal care, birth circumstances, etc…..THAT is determined the very MOMENT of conception! It is an EXTRA CHROMOSOME and is a risk of later in life births….which the family accepted as the Will of God and they accepted the CHALLENGES of raising this “special needs” child…You have NO IDEA of what this means….have you ever even MET a Down’s syndrome child (or adult?) suggest to Sean that you invite a Down’s adult on the show to debate this with Alan….THAT’s one show I will watch! I’ve given up watching the show most times because Alan’s absolute stupidity is just to maddening!

I can only hope you are fired from Fox soon. Everytime your face appears anywhere out there from now on, your attack on a lady who had the guts to bring this special child with Downs Syndrome into the world, will remind us all just what kind of a gutless coward you are.

    August 31st, 2008 at 4:40 pm
  71. As the name of the article stated, it was questioning her judgment of taking a long flight after her water broke before having the baby delivered. Nothing more.

    The evidence is that he doesn’t mention Down syndrome once, and that the first article he links to explicitly mentions that Down syndrome was found earlier. Plus, he has posted followup articles on the matter.

  72. so where did this come from?:

    Pile this on top of the low blow from TV’s Alan Colmes who claims that Palin didn’t practice proper prenatal care before she had the baby with Down’s Syndrome, blaming the Mother for her disabled child. Well, the lefties don’t know a low road they won’t take. (Colmes’ site has crashed right now, but this is the address if it ever comes back: http://www.alan.com/2008/08/30/did-palin-take-proper-pre-natal-care/)

  77. Alan,
    Just curious if you believe that the full frontal nude photo liberals are saying is Governor Sarah Palin. In fact, the photo in question, is actually Julia Louis Dryfus. Liberals just think America is plain dumb. How did they really think they could pass that off as Governor Palin?

  78. I ran across your comments through a Drudge item relative to some idiot who was suggesting that Palin’s baby was actually the baby of her daughter. Then I ran across your entry on you suggesting that just perhaps Palin may have been at fault for the baby’s condition which it appears that you have denied. Quite frankly Alan I have spent the day reading the crap that have been entered on various web sites on Palin. Most of it from the liberals which I have concluded are sick. You are all mental cases. Some conservative bloggers are in that category also. Palin complies with the qualifications set forth by the Constitution. Liberals are artists at the Politics of Personal destruction. Unfortunately, you seem part of the that gang. There are issues out there that should be addressed, however, we cannot get to those issues because each of the attempts of defamation must be answered. I think it would be appropriate to look at your own house of cards and really analyze the people that you associate with. You may conclude they are all wallowing in giant septic tanks of their own making.

    I fear for the long term viability of our country. I consider you an intelligent person however, on a scale of zero to 10, you have reached the zero point. Let’s hear and see something positive for a change.

  79. I guess if she would have aborted the baby on the flight, you would have celebrated her decision to choose instead of questioning her judgment.

    Colmes, you should resign and personally apologize to Sarah Palin.

  80. Based on the vile comments about Sarah Palin, I have to question whether or not you are Americans or America’s enemies. Certainly not christian patriots willing to honor and serve your country. I hope the misguided comments against Ms. Palin come from newbies to adult society that are simply testing the limits of moral decency. You found the line kids and you crossed it big time. As for Alan, you are history and will be remembered for this disgrace.

  82. Tonight, ratings bump on H&C as many tune in to see if this will be addressed.

    If not addressed, tomorrow ratings sag. Situation to continue for some time.

    Hope you haven’t spent that looked for bonus money, Alan.

  83. Alan,

    This is truly a disgusting line of argument. You really crossed the line, and you should apologize on air. Admit that you screwed up, and say you’re sorry. This baby may have an extra chromosome, but you have an extra “cruel” gene. Shame on you.

  84. Grrr, Argh!

  85. I was so delighted to hear that Allan Colmes was done. So often I wondered why a person with some intelligence wasn’t sitting in his seat. I stopped watching Hannity and Colmes two years ago because I could not believe what was coming out of his mouth. The only reason he was sitting in that seat was a blood relative must have hired him. His stupidity was totally unacceptable.
