Down again?

[Eternalknight]

Not sure if it was just me or not....

Are we overloading the server again?

I think it was down again. I've been trying every couple of hours and finally made it in just now.

We have new RAM - hurray

(I had to restart some services but its running fine now )

No, it was just a nightmare....

a nightmare shared by me and about all other posters and visitors

This is good news. Will the boards and news pages be staying up now?

*Fingers crossed...*

 

[Blacksway]

Fingers crossed indeed!

If the RAM doesn't solve the problem, the next step is to increase the amount of bandwidth and data throughput. Morrus and I will keep you posted!

 

[Airwolf]

Ahhh, its good to back on familiar pages!

Good work guys!

 

[Knight Otu]

Thumbs up to Piratecat, Morrus and everyone else involved (maybe except Cyberstreet )!

hmm.. *thinking*

RAM is nice and all, but the symptoms that I've been seeing on the boards (completely halting the boards, not a gradual decrease of performance) doesn't indicate that it's solely a RAM problem OR bandwidth, for that matter.

If it was bandwidth, than it would be slow for people.
It has been completely unaccessable for long periods of time, not just badly-performing.

If it WAS bandwidth only, than once the server became unavailable, than the traffic would decrease, and it would become available again.
Until enough people saturated the line, and it became unavailable again.

That's not what I see happening - can anyone in the know comment on these observations?
