... this is a case of 'much a do about nothing"
they underestimated the traffic and now the site is almost non-existent, too bad.

You'd think someone would have known or planned for this during pre-rollout planning.

I think they did, but grossly underestimated the trafic

Would be nice to have a piece of that action when its fully rolling

Khun · 07-03-2004, 08:35 AM

Wonder how many hits were coming in? Sucks to have that kind of intrest and it all go to waste.

They should have a text only frontpage when the server load is high that gives just their most important news and links

Adding a board to a big site like that is just ASKING for trouble.

"Note From: Howard

7.2.2004

Hey Now everyone this is Howard and I'm writing to you because this bulletin board has been quite the experience. Like you, I have been unable to log on since this morning and post my crap. Let me explain what is going on and see if I get this right. I've been on the phone with the various computer experts, Dreamtank, Jeff Schick from IBM and just about everyone except Bill Gates and the basic opinion is that they have never seen anything on the internet like what happened today. Within minutes of opening the BB we had thousands log on and at one point this afternoon forty thousand people were on the board creating a community for all of us. The problem was that over one hundred thousand people were waiting to get in and that's when one server blew up (whatever that means.) The guys at Dreamtank told me we fried the server and that sounds serious. All of the servers that Dreamtank owns were put into action but they couldn't handle the demand and they were forced to shut down. They tried something called a lock down for awhile but that didn't do the trick. Here's what I'm thinking about when it comes to the next move. Since we need stacks of servers to accommodate the demand I will begin thinking about a few advertisers. The original thought was that three servers would handle all the traffic and apparently that doesn't even begin to put a dent in the amount of hardware we need. I have been approached by several sponsors and I'm thinking that this is the only way to create an operation that can pay for all the servers. I can imagine a bulletin board where all of us can communicate in the event that the FCC has their way with the show and I am forced to go off the air for awhile until we can all regroup somewhere. In order to create a bb that will allow hundreds of thousands of people it will take a few days to figure out a plan. So in the meantime the guys will try to create a BB that will allow ten thousand people in at a time. At least some people will be able to use the boards while we begin to build an environment that can accommodate everyone. Like an overcrowded club the BB will let one person in when someone leaves, or something like that. Hopefully Lizzie Grubman won't show up at the club and run people over in the parking lot. That's the scoop. Keep checking back and we will begin to get this thing up and running. Over the next couple of days we should be able to handle hundreds of thousands of people once we pull it all together. When that happens we will have the largest community of people gathered together under one roof on the internet...like Woodstock but without the music, the drugs and the mud. I have no ability to explain what is going on technically and I'm sure my rudimentary understanding of all this is laughable but that's all I know right now. I'll keep you posted."

I wonder if he really wrote that?

Nysus · 07-03-2004, 11:18 AM

That's kick-ass.

Cheers,
Matt

Mutt · 07-03-2004, 11:18 AM

he definitely wrote that.

is it possible that it's technically impossible to have a messageboard on the Internet that can handle 100,000 users concurrently? or is Dreamtank in over its head and screwed up?

are there any messageboard sites out there that take that kind of pounding? what about Yahoo's boards?

dougeetx · 07-03-2004, 11:21 AM

What's the URL???

I have been speaking with Jim and they arent over there heads. They are taking suitable measures now to get it back up .
A huge amount of servers have been ordered , i mean huge amount to get it back into live mode
