Whatever the problem was please make sure it is fixed by January when Moutinho and Vagner Love arrives.

No, dont be daft
Paid up right until end of November, would have been more but with a new host, only joined the other day.
We crashed the server, using 30% of the servers usage so it got automatically closed. Some poor woman was having to work on it for hours on end last night because of it and while she was, her diabetic son fainted.
Basically, the same problem Kipper, NSNO and the official had.
NSNO only had about half an hour's downtime yesterday, the rest of the time it was taking over a minute to load pages due to there being over a thousand people on there constantly
at just after midnight there were 2,265 people on
the official site probably had the most downtime of all the sites, which is a bit disappointing really

Atleast NSNO was working the majority of the time...although it did take ages to open the topics...
Keeping a website online is fairly easy in high traffic, we have a bigger hosting account that TW for example.
The problem we had (like Kippers forums and NSNO forums late on), is CPU usage due to database.

Our CPU usage was at 70 most of the day (for anyone other than Danny, the usual usage is one!)
That does hurt servers, but it's the physical "in and out" of traffic going through the various switches and drive controllers on the machine. You could have masses of RAM, and 8 CPU's, but if your drives are slow, or they're not linked optimally, then the server will crash
I've found having the database on one hard drive and the files on another works well, but again, if these drives aren't linked effectively then it all comes crumbling down
a site like the OS should be able to cope with huge numbers though, we've upgraded our system to be able to cope with up to 10,000 concurrent users (although that needed downtime, so we avoided it until about 4am I think) and the costs wouldn't be prohibitive to a multi-million pound, multi-national business

Yeah baffled the OS went down.
We struggled because as you know, this is vBulletin and forums are a nightmare usage wise.
Oh, and Cal. How you managed to use 5.7% server usage from an avatar i'll never know.
3GB in two days from images....
we have our own line, so bandwidth isn't really a problem, which is good, as we used 30gb yesterday!
isn't there a setting on vbulletin that you can use to cap the number of connections before the server breaks? I'm sure I've seen other forums use it, and when they get to just before breaking point, users get a vbulletin (or custom!) message saying the server is too busy and you should try again in a few minutes. this stops the server actually crashing and needing work, which Im guessing means less downtime....although it does mean *some* downtime

Bandwidth isnt a problem here - any more anyway. Its server CPU usage.
And yeah, its called *NIX Server Load Limit. Was wondering why it didn't work, must have went back to default since server move the other day
