Well, that was a quick test!

Here I am, refreshing my page, and I get Morrus' message about the test starting, the real server is off, and he provides a link to the test forums.

But, the link doesn't work.

Then the test is completed.

Very nice and quick test!

 

[Morrus]

Yep. Didn't take long at all to get the answer I needed!

what happened?

We (and by "we," I mean the general case, as I never got a chance to even register to post...) killed the test board after mere minutes.

I managed to register, but not to post, because the reply page didn't work with Netscape. By the time I figured out what the problem was, the server was dead.

 

[MythandLore]

I registered but it never sent me an email.
By an hour latter - poof - it was dead.

The main page says that the test boards stayed up for 4 hours, but sure as hell doesn't seem that the test ran for 4 hours. I can understand why the simultaneous users only hit 118 maximum.

Right before I went to lunch this afternoon, I checked to see if the test had started, which it seemed it hadn't (I tried to get to the boards and it said they were full). When I got back from lunch an hour and a half later, the news was on the main page saying the test was complete. How could that have been a conclusive test?

I never received my confirmation email either, nor did I receive an email when I tried to retrieve my password in hopes that would work.
