What am I going to do for 15 whole minutes

Can't you do it quicker?

God I'm addicted...

Awsome! but wht will i do during the downtime?

yehhh SSDs, how much space are you planning on having? A few TBs I hope.

Another server, we blew up the last one in a year?

Shesh oh Pete!

Least ill know whats going on, thank you for the heads up. I won't panic and hide under my bed thinking the NWO is going to round us up in car carriers.

Hope everything goes smoothly, but "Swine Flue"??? There was a pig with a chimney up it's butt and I missed it??? Damn!

Sounds like fun stuff, it makes me wonder, if you are having multiple servers with SSD and the like now, what will you have to have in place for December 21st 2012, and the time just leading up to it? You might want to ask Google if you can borrow one of their data centers for those few days

Yes and soon you will need the huge servers and space like Google. More people are seeking the truth.

It's hard to imagine the daily hits from non members alone! I can take some of Friday off without panicking that the goverenment interceded the site. Thanks for the warning.

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering what consideration was given towards moving to a cloud based platform. Unless it was over-ridden based on concerns for privacy and control of the data, I know that cloud computing platforms are pretty cost competitive, and robust these days.

After about a year of steady duty, our database server has recently experienced what can only be described as the upper-limits of it's capabilities.

I borrowed that screen from our very own ATS Space Opera.
Good luck with the upgrade.

Can we get one of these?

I think that would save any future issues

Thank you for the notice and congrats on your / our new baby!

As more people "awaken" ATS is going to need the additional power. Good move.

We are now running on the new database server.

The captain has turned off the seatbelt sign, it's safe to roam about.
