Anti-Server-Load Measures

[MarkG]

/me is happy to report that Settler is at this moment serving 500 forum users without going into crazy load spikes

load is increased of course, but noone is geting server busy message. your feedback on this is crucial

Good, I haven't noticed anything at all.

Praise the Lord.

I wonder how many busier boards there are than 'Poly?

[Dauphin]

Its a joke, no need to analyse it.

[spartak]

Oh!

[MarkG]

update

- In threads: Avatars, CivGroups icons and forum jump menu will be automatically be turned off and on depending on current load

random time (average)

[MarkG]

url?

[alva]

http://games.telenet.be/forum/

this is an official ISP forum (and the only one to provide cable here)

[MarkG]

nice
it would be interesting to know their server setup(for example the infogrames which have a record of 2500 users forums are now based on 3-4 servers)

[alva]

remeber that belgium is a small country, and if you divide that by 2....... (only the dutch part of belgium uses this, so it's very local, and about 99% are on cable)

can't help help you on any settup info, as I don't understand a flippin' word of it

you might wanne ask DeepO for some info on this, he's probably using cable too.

just checked again: 821 users (20.00gmt+1)

Sorry, can't help you there. I'm on cable indeed, but on the other, sometimes forgotten cable provider of Belgium : Chello (or UPC-Belgium). They too keep a games forum, but I don't believe it to be so busy as Telenet's

But some other local busy fora are the soccer team fora, I think... loads of 500 seem to work there. I think the key here is that they have very few features, whereas 'poly is one of the feature-richest I know... everything has its price.

Ahh, that's right, you live in that part of the country
