Head Guru Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Hello, Just a quick note. We are in the process of replacing the main TCH server. We have outgrown our current server and are in need of a large upgrade. You may have noticed a general slow down on the forums and load times for all of the tch web site. This is caused by high loads on the server. High loads are created from a very large increase in site traffic. This is a rather large job, as the tch domain has several very large databases and contains a large amount of static pages. We have been working on this the past several days and expect to be complete in the very near future. At this point we anticipate no down time, however we will be closing the following for a 2 hour window. Billing and customer login areas. Help Desk Forums Once the move is complete we will than turn on the above areas again. All tech support during these times will be ran thru Instant Message and Telephones. Updates will be posted to the site when the time comes. I will update this thread as we move along. Thanks!
Head Guru Posted May 27, 2004 Author Posted May 27, 2004 As of 8:15AM EST. load average: 34.05, 23.14, 11.06
TCH-Thomas Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) Growth is good! I agree on that but does this mean i actually have to work 2 hours instead of spending my time in my favorite forum? Edited May 27, 2004 by Jikrantz
TCH-Bruce Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Well I just spent 2 hours working, has it been done yet?
youneverknow Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 I just tried navigating TCH's site at 8:20 AM PDT and WOW was it ever FAST. Pages loaded without the usual slight hesitation there was before. Congratulations youneverknow
TCH-Bruce Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 I love the quickness of the forum since the upgrade! Kudos guys. Thumbs Up
bellringr Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 I wasn't sure if the recent lag had been due to TCH or my ISP. Nice work HG!!
