It has taken about 4 HOURS! just to get to this freakin' forum so I could talk about Serenity. Right when I got home about 4 HOUR! ago I came here right away and did a blog. Tried to save it, but the damn site was f**king up again! And it was a LOOOOOOOONG blog. Why does this site mess up so often? I get a "Cannot find server or page" trying to come to this site so often! Is it maybe cause there is so many people on at once? or what?

I had a helluva time getting on as well, but it made me grin because it means more people are getting hooked!

yeah, heavy traffic because we are all so happy and excited!
I saw the BDM for the 3rd time (first time as a finished film) and I am sooooo happy about it!
I can't wait to see it again tomorrow!

this site will continue to see a lot of heavy traffic for some time to come, because I'm hoping we'll have a lot to discuss in the coming months
(what w/success, and a sequel...LOL)

Haken, thanks again so much for this site, the best on Firefly and Serenity, and it is a testament to your dedication and love for this show that your site is in such demand. Keep flying, dude.

How about we start a betting pool as to when Universal greenlights a sequel?

Haken, I've been here almost since the beginning and let me say, thanks a lot. This site, and others like it are part of the reason we are enjoying the BDM. You and the other webmasters and fan organizers like MyOrangeHat are demi-BDHs in my book. I too had trouble getting on the site recently, and realized it had to be premiers associated traffic.

Remember Lux Lucre!

FFF.NET runs on two servers that are about 4 years old, one for the web server, one for the SQL server. At the time, those were pretty fast servers, but they're showing their age.

I just added another spare processor to the web server, but I don't have another processor for the SQL server. And it looks like it's the SQL server that's getting overloaded at the moment. Best I could do was to optimize the SQL code and maybe squeeze out a bit more performance.

If we get a "Serenity" sequel, I promise I'll upgrade the servers for sure.
