[stewart] Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Um how 'bout if instead we make a thread, we'll call it, say, "Record Breaking", we'll stick it in this forum, and it can contain the announcement and discussion about this event. Just a suggestion . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Yeah, sounds OK, maybe when we make a decision we can put the date and time in our sigs, that ought 2 let anyone who logs on and c's a post by any of us will know 2 turn up.

Guest Jim69 Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Sunday's are good, I usually nurse a hangover about then so it's fine with me. Wednesday's fine as well since I never do much during the week, it's too damn hot to go and do ne thing 4 the 3 hours of sunshine I get in freedom a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miceless Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Unfortunately I dont think that HeMan is available at the moment. I doubt there will be any objections, as so far only about six of us have shown up in this thread. We need some more agressive advertising.

j'ordos Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) As Micah said somewhere :xcomufo.com's server sports unlimited bandwidth and the capability to serve several thousand users at once at a very nice speed with at least 99.9% uptime. Besides, if the forums ever start to slow down, I will simply upgrade the server The forums currently take around 133mb of space on the server, plus the 30mb database in the mysql system. It may sound like a lot (or not) but there is still plenty of room to grow. Also, since the upgrade to v1.2 RC 1, there have been no database errors, even with the increased traffic. So I guess it won't be too much of a problem... Edited August 14, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Stewart did mention the possibilities of a spam fest at the same time. We shall see. As for it crashing the server, we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWH Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Congratulations guys this record breaking attempt sounds pretty good tome. oe question : How long do you think persons should stay online for after logging in at 0700 pm GMT? 15 minutes ? 30 mins?

j'ordos Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) Good question, they'll have to stay on for a while as not everyone will be on at exactly 7 PM edit : what if not enough people show up to break the record? -_- Edited August 14, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j'ordos Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 (edited) And more aggresive advertising but I actually meant : we stay 'till we break it, but if we don't break it...
