I assume everyone experienced the same problem there a few minutes ago? Don't know if the following is of any use to the ATS IT department?

Database speed:

Header data processed in 7.080 seconds
Page processed in 76.520 seconds

Then a moment later, nothing but "Server shutdown in process"

Yeah, I noticed overwhelming traffic and restarted a few services. Everything seems okay now.

For a minute there I thought the government finally got to our site

Overwhelming traffic is good sometimes, right william? Good for the site. I just hope my prediction for the 200k posts stays on target. Oct 1, at 7pm GMT. That's noon my time, out here in colorado, If I'm not mistaken.

I got:

Did you check to see if there was any spyware that got in william? Just wondering because I have gotten some rather intersting spyware lately one of them is called red sheriff tracking cookie. I have been been looking to see as to where it has been comming from but I would keep a look out for that one the normal tracking cookies that I get come from E=MC2 and a few others but I am also wondering what this red sheriff tracking cookie is and where it is comming from.

Glad to hear we are back up and running again hopfully no more 32 or so u2u messages will pop up anytime soon.

Seems to be happening a lot lately.

When you say overwhelming traffic, is that meant to imply valid traffic, or packet attacks at the sever? Or is it unknown at this point?

Just wondering cause it seems to happen more often when the board contains good topics.....

It all looks like legit traffic. I'm trying to determin where it's coming from and what assests are being hit.

Here is today's tale of the graph:


HUGE TRAFFIC.
We normally average around 50-60 concurrent connections... we peaked at 240 and each time I flush memory and restart services, we jump quickly over 100.
