Forums were TOAST

[Urinal Mint]

OK, who pulled the plug this time?

 

[Deeko]

They were running slow for awhile, and then they just stopped working. I thought maybe it was just my ISP or something. I guess not.

 

[lamplighter]

Lets just be glad they are up already

 

[C'DaleRider]

Glad it wasn't just me....strange that the forums went down but the main Anandtech site just kept running. Too much traffic I guess....

 

[HansXP]

omg that was painful, I actually had to get out of my chair for an hour....ohhh never go away again, AT!

 

[TripleJ]

My connection is going like a rocket now. Faster than I've ever seen. How about you?

 

[Deeko]

The forums run on different servers.

 

[jobberd]

TripleJ: thats because the few hours the forums were down, zuni erased all private messages that were over 3 months old

 

[j0lly]

For about 3-4 hours.

 

[bigrash]

i thought it was just my system that was running slow. just glad it's back on now faster then ever

 

[Anand Lal Shimpi]

...it's also because the forums are now running off of the worlds fastest dual processor x86 platform

Keep an eye out for an article all about it very soon...

Take care,
Anand

[MichaelD]

Cool! Is this the Dually-AthlonMP box that was built about 6 weeks ago? Man, I'll bet that bad-boy zzzzzzzzzzzings! Schaaweet!

<<...it's also because the forums are now running off of the worlds fastest dual processor x86 platform >>

Ooo, that's gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over.I thought that was the case as I remember you mentioning it in one of your articles on Athlon MP. But I thought you upgraded it last Wednesday so it didn't make sense that it was faster now. Guess I get thrown easily.

 

[jobberd]

hey, Anand replied to me! cool

 

[blueghost75]

i figured ya'll were upgrading the servers. i can tell the difference on my poor little 21,600 bps connection.
