[George L]

wow

mind never pulls even 20 guests.

[VirtueTech]

Wow...did you find out who the IP belonged to before you?

[Mike Sullivan]

And your server handled it? Niiiiiice.

Wow. I don't think I've seen more than 15 guests on any vB board before.

[George L]

apparently, it was a little error in the apache configuration and it mistakenly directed traffic from 2 sites to mine - i prefer not say who the sites were

but the server i am on at the moment dual p3 800 with 256mb ram slowed to a crawl after i saw 715 guests - so it seems there were more hitting the server.. maxing out the max mysql connections.

the forum could function once it was down to 700 or less guests - so i have an idea of what i can handle in the future i hope...

Please? Could you tell us what site was directing traffic to you? Yahoo? Aol?

[Joe]

If AOL or Yahoo! redirectied just 1% of there traffic for 15min, Eva would have had closer to 100,000 guests

Probably a porn site

Yeah, i won't go into details, but probably a free pics site or something, I bet they got a shock when they found Eva's Anime Boards

[Genotoxin]

Maybe it's eBay. ;-)

Geez eva, after your first two posts I was hoping that your server actually handled that load Our new box is going in next week.

ps. had 120 real guests myself last night.. Something awful has a few hundred right now.
