28 Days Later - Discussion

[timoran]

I think the site should be open only to a few users at first - opening it to all at once just guarantees it will go back down right away. Maybe at first, just open it to users who donate...?

 

[AlexInsane]

As stated millions of times before, the site can handle the stress of thousands of people accessing it at once.

Besides, if you're going to be exclusive this late in the game, you're going to have a bunch of very tired, very pissed off furries on your hands.

I think there's a lesson to be learned here. I believe it is people will always remember the good old days.

Or rather they don't. Since this downtime is nothing compared to the one in 2005. =)

I like that idea,

However, I think it add another delay and level of complexity to a already complex system. Also you got the problem of people that donated without making themselves know. I of course like it because I donated.
However I considered my donation more of a back pay on the fun I did have on this site.

However that may be a great idea to fund fa in the future , have a donor only swim weekend once a year. maybe on the anniversary of the crash day?

Funny how this 'disaster' made me finally post on the forums...

I can see it now, the moment FA reopns, thousands of submissions (per second!) will fly in, causing the serves to overheat and melt. The sequel? 28 weeks later X_X...

=P

I strongly believe the servers can handle it, get faith in our admins <3

 

[AlexInsane]

Oh God, if the site crashes after five minutes of being up, I'll laugh. I'll sit here and laugh my damn head off. They'll cart me off campus in a padded van with me still laughing and raving like a madman.

 

[Gillagad]

Oh boy, 28 days without FA? No idea how I survived but I can't wait to see the flood of art

That doesn't really make sense though for 2 reasons.

1. The site handles just fine when it's up for everyone, so why limit it only to a select group of people on certain days without it being necessary?

2. Limiting it to donors only on certain days would make the site inaccesible to the vast majority of the site's users, and that means there'd be hardly any art uploaded on those days. I don't see the point of being able to access the site on days no one else can while hardly any art is getting uploaded on those days.

You're right!
Can't wait to get back to watching...

 

[E-mannor]

yay, we seem to be at the end of this struggle and as always the admins pulled through nearly insurmountable odds.

 

[Stratelier]

Smashing your F5 key into digital dust will not make the site run come back any faster...

But it would alleviate the inevitable flood of activity once the server does make it back online....

 

[Rhainor]

Everyone viewing this thread.

I have that same keyboard...although mine's not quite that dirty.

 

[thedarkwolfzearoth]

Seems like it's been a lot longer than 28 days

 

[Range]

So what're the chances of another server crash from a mass art upload?

 

[Phsuke]

So the relaunch is likely to be the 29th? Or are any estimates made yet?

 

[StainMcGorver]

I'm drawing a picture of my fursona wearing a hat that says "28 days without FA"

You know F5 isn't the button that automatically refreshes the browser if you use a computer that has an Apple on it. My case.

I have to manually hit the refresh button on my browser.

 

[TCgamerboy2002]

I was gonna go mad when it crashed. A lot of my favorite artworks're on that!

 

[Dax]

What does 32 gigs of RAM look like?

Yeah, does anyone have a estimate of when it might be up? Or is it not possible to say?

 

[DominusLudus]

Glad FA is coming back. The downtime drove me to the brink of insanity....I came THIS close to getting a job and giving my life some kind of purpose.

Or you could hit Command+R...
