Traffic on the site is about 20x higher than normal, and is making the server squeal, my apologies for the slowness - hopefully by the end of today it will be back to normal, that or I'm going to need to upgrade the server again :) If anyone's looking for #'s there has been about 3000-4000 concurrent users on the site all weekend.
First :D
Indeed, the server IS slow.. meh.. took me like half an hour to finally get this post out....
And... I've been one of the users this weekend :D:D:D
what are the news sites trolling us for?
The whole 'Prepared' 36 boxer deal.
And EVERYONE thinks it's Bradster doing the 36 boxing. >_<
lol nubs
Hehe, it's rare that you see the 7 out of 10 with +100 views .. the new threads on the frontpage, that's it.
lol lets start talking about some wierd stuff, where is stuggo when you need him
block the referral links :(
mweh
Well that explains a lot, I was trying to load the off topicay pics thread lol.
I knew what was killing the site when I went on my realm forums and saw the digg link ;)
WTF? I'm only boxing 36 accounts. It's not that big of a deal. It will be a big deal when I go to 60 accounts, but that won't happen until after the expansion is released.Quote:

I just had to tell some people asking me about boxing that the site is down and they should try again later.
not a big deal unless people insist on trying mboxing the second they see it.
:pinch:
Does this mean we can get off of the POS virtual server now pwease? :-)
It's all over the german forums and game magazines, too.
its always the germans! bastards!
Lets build a wall around the site, that'll stop 'em!
We will build it with fire and call it a.... firewall!

[font='Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif']ahaha i love this guy!
why not 80 and do 2 raids to AQ40 at the same time ?[/font]
Just enter "bradster multi" into your search engine and you'll realize:
Bradster is a big star now!
The way even huge magazines just copy and paste things and sell them for "information" troubles me.
Not a single one of them obviously tried to verify before repeating - they could at least have read the post on the portal. It's what I'd expect from any kind of journalism, even in the unsignificant world of computer games.
In this particular case it's easy for us to go and look for ourselves, but if that's the quality of other daily news we get then...
... uhmm ... /cry.
I opened the thing with "Prepared the 36 Boxer etc". Who knew this would happen. I assure everyone that's not what I intended! It's like giving you credit for saving someones life, when you never did it. Only less dramatic in this case XD. At least some of the major ones have the facts correct, I only hope the smaller ones follow.I also changed the front page to underline whats going on. Now to hit resend on this post 100 times and It might happen within an hour lol.Quote:

Don't get me wrong about the "big star" thing. I know you didn't intend that kind of reaction, and it's not your fault people don't read thoroughly...
As a matter of fact I don't envy you in your position either.
But hey [quoting Richard Feynman]: What do you care about what other people think?
Cheers!

I meant
*INsignificant
sry
Well, G4 Techtv is still saying it's you Brad lol. Personally, I thought the whole thing was amusing. Especially the obvious lack of research on the part of pretty much everyone reporting the "story".
O M F G . . . woot! i can plug my Db.com IV back in!
