Why would you cut off the gaming side--or OT for that matter--, during a time where there would be the most visitors?

GAF running and capable of handling the load > GAF imploding

Everything's smooth again! But for how long?

Yes this has been happening quite a lot recently. I thought it was my HSI service then I tried other websites and they would work perfectly.

GAF will die come E3.

Hey guys, I love this forum but I dont post much. Just wanting to say that hopefully things go smoothly on E3 so i can see all the new info and yeah the 500-internal error sucks lol

but this forum is awesome!

 

[woodchuck]

In other words, a ****ing entertaining forum.

It would be ridiculous to close the gaming forum during E3. I mean, WTF.

It's not like anybody can actually access the forum during the E3.

I'm sure they'd rather serve a few ads to less number of people, than no ads at all cause the server is down.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Don't they usually disable search and close the OT during E3? I thought they did.

 

[woodchuck]

i think they closed the OT last year

 

[Rorschach]

Pfft. What would e3 be without a few gaf crashes. Last year was monumental because it didn't crash completely. :lol

Just get in the DC++ hub and chillax. ;b

Also, these days, there's gametrailers, xboxyde, etc.

 

[glistenm]

I think the proper way to deal with the e3 thing is to ban the people who with the highest thread counts of the gaming side.


The mirrored/delayed system for guests in place is ****ing fantastic btw.

 

[Animal]

actually on heavy load, the search feature is the quickest way to move around here.


shhh don't tell anyone.

 

[Father_Brain]

Already getting busy errors, and the big three conferences don't start for another 12 hours. *sigh*

 

[ConsumerSquare]

I thought E3 was cancelled after last year. What's the deal?

 

[vumpler]

I've yet to see the 500 internal server error.. Unless that is equivalent of "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." which I've been getting NONSTOP This morning.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

I vote for all 3:

1. Temporarily turn off search function.
2. Temporarily close the OT subforum.
3. Set GA forums to private.

That should make for a much smoother E3.

please do at least the first two options. E3 is upon us.

there are currently 3800 people online :lol

SOMEbody is out of the loop

 

[vumpler]

Bah but then we would have to go elsewhere to do our OT posting and I could give a shit less for any community other than nforcershq and here. And Nforcers is pretty much completely dead so that leaves me with this being the only community I care about so keep the OT! lol. But if it has to be done, let it be done I assume
