Fuzz Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Hey guys, we're in the middle of upgrading our server on GDA. We've been getting above 35,000 visitors every day for the past couple weeks, and the machine we were on just couldn't handle that kind of constant requests. I'm sure many of you have noticed the long load times on the site over the past week. So the site will be offline off and on throughout the next 2 days while we begin backing up all our files and getting everything all sorted out. The forum sits on it's own server, and won't be affected at all by the downtime.Edit: We've moved everything onto the new server, now we're just waiting for the domain to point to the right place. Visit the news page and see if you get a white page saying we're currently offline, or if you can see the news post about the Letterman performance (screenshot). If you still see the white page, the domain hasn't switched over for you yet. This will vary from instant for some, to up to 24 hours, it just depends on different internet providers and when they get the updated information for GDA.It's important to visit the news page to see if the update has gone through, visiting other links (such as the Picture Vault) might be pointing to the old server. The only page we've updated to know the difference for sure is the news page.
Rita Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 It's fine. I never go to GDA anyway haha. All the news I care about gets posted on GDC.

Foxboro Hot Tubs Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 well ... it sucks but if the site works then, it's great let's hope that it doesn't take much timeand fortunately we have the community =)
Mommy's Little Nightmare Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I'm glad. I stopped going on GDA this past week because it was loading so damn slowly. So, if taking it down for a few days will help it, it's worth it.

Bryn Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Ahh OK. I was a bit worried at work when I could not get it to pull up. I thought the server had crashed.
