Trad Gang and Slow Response

[Rob DiStefano]

we apologize for the slow trad gang access and response problems encountered by most of the members last night.

along with our server host tech, we'll be closely monitoring the site starting at 7pm ET this evening.  

at this point we have no hard evidence as to why there were slow response issues.  all of the hardware was running at virtual idle, with a very light load at best.

that leaves at least two areas of concern - network traffic and forum software.  we're leaning more towards a software issue at this point.  

if necessary, our current 'plan b' is to move the auction forums to an isolated sister server for the duration of the auction.

I wonder what the traffic count was last night after the Auction opended? I wonder what it will be like at 9:59 PM on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th?

We hit 1510 members on at 10:26 PM Eastern last night. The new record.

And here I thought I was going to have explain to the "Boss" why I needed a new laptop as mine was so slow!
