Thanks for the hard work! It's definitely zippier now

Yeah mirrored redundancy is your friend

Brad and I just got back from Clearwater, picking up the replacement parts for Barney. (It's been a loooooooooooooooong day) Once we have an estimated time of when Barney will brought back online (hopefully tomorrow) I am sure Brad will make a post and/or send out a notice.

Thanks Vixen

James should be testing all the new hardware tomorrow, since what we have in place right now is working, we want to test these new parts first so we don't have any more or new issues.

We will also be even more redundancy after this is fixed. So it will only get better.

Again sorry about the downtime.

Thanks mate. Speed here is a bit of an issue. But am sure will get sorted out once Barney is online..!!

ciao..

I recall when i was posting on the emergency forum, that it was trying to access smtp.vortechhosting.com, and seeing as the network was down it couldnt get to it. It might pay to check into this as it might be why it crashed.

Pace, it will be in your forum options somewhere

Things seemed to have slowed down considerably since last time I checked earlier today (about 11am EST). Is everything still holding up?

Yeah its under edit profile > custom user title. It may be that you need to be on the vbulletin 3 skin.

yeah, it's been molasses slow for some time now. Praying for tomorrow's fixes to help.

We found the issue, you bandwidth hogs are pushing over 100+mps on a sunday night.. We are switching it over to gige in about the next 20 to 30 min that should fully fix this slowness issue till we get the router backin there. I hope..

What? You mean we can't copy up new sites on a temporary fix? Or do full database dumps? etc?

I just threw a cable across the room because my wireless kept crapping out on an FTP I was doing (so sue me for using 802.11b).

Hey, Sunday is just another work day to some of us out here. It's just that some of us get to do it from the comfort of our living room.

I am envious of you right now. I wish I could be at home. :tongue:

[sheptech]

Ah yes, but your A/C in the datacenter works so much better than mine in my apartment. I miss the meat locker days of my system management past.

<edit>
BTW thanks for the speed boost! I appreciate what you guys (and gals) do for us.

I am having issues with all of my sites... very slow server response or DNS error across the board?!?!?

[admin]

Ok, everything "should" be fast now as we have out gige lines backup now on the temp fix now. Let me know if anything still seems a little slow.
