The only thing I really have to say about AO3's latest contretemps is: I told you so~

When a platform is so fucked up that the only way to make it run is to take out the navigation, then it's time to think real hard about who's been driving development.

Is that table not even partitioned? Are they just calling the whole bloody thing for every sidebar and parsing after that? Good lord.

Momiji can attest to the fact that when I saw that, I was just sitting there muttering "oh my god. oh my god."

I think I'm /still/ going "oh my god". I mean... /damn/.

I have to wonder what server that box was for though. Database or an app box?
