Reason for site hiccup last night

Post by benheck »

The PS2p was on Slashdot and the site got bombarded... This caused it to go over the montly limit by A LOT causing it to be temporarily unavailable.

I'm going to work out some ways to keep this from happening in the future... for now there's a iPowerweb ad on the MAIN MENU thing. We may also do some cross-promotions with advetisers that are of use to us, such as Digikey, Radio Shack and the like.

If things get slammed again when the book comes out, hopefully by then we'll be ready.

No kidding the Member # is up around 170, and it was 22nd that we had 26 people on the fourms at one time (our new record).

With how popular this little hobby/interest is becoming I can imagine why those places wouldnt be willing to help, we already have a great relationship they're a generous supplier.

Until I heard about the /. I wondered why there were 17+ guests in the forums.
