Hum yes fair point. The most recent entries are stored in memory in memcached. For a while that was the only place, and that’s what I meant by ‘nothing is recorded’. Now they are also serialized to disk in case my server reboots.

The only data I record is what you see on screen – name, date and message. There are the Apache logs as well, which are cleaned up at no precise interval.

How do you show the page if nothing is recorded?!
