Well, that forums stress-test was a huge success - thanks to everyone who participated, knowingly or not. :) The previous record for concurrent users in the forums was 652, and tonight we pushed that up to 669. People were reporting the forums as very responsive even with that many people browsing, which shows we have a fair bit of headroom for future growth.
I appreciate your patience during the slow periods as our previous server Thor struggled to cope with the load over the last few months. Many thanks to AusGamers and Comindico for providing the hosting for our servers. In all seriousness, without their help things would be fairly grim for OCAU. Thanks also to PlusCorp for their sponsorship of our Powered by PlusCorp database server.
The new servers are called pie, which handles the databases, and chips, the webserver. There'll be an article soonish with more info about the build process and other info on the new servers, but for now here's a couple of PCDB entries if you're curious:
Click for pie!
Click for chips!
