What does it take to put together a couple of bigger badder machines? If everyone on the site springs $15-$20, maybe Haken can at least get one newer machine to meet the kind of demand the movie is drawing. That's less than the price of a ticket + parking and popcorn. Let's do it!

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.

Hey, I moved the SQL server and things should be a bit more zippy now.

If every registered user gave Haken $15-$20, Haken could make a Sequel to Serenity.

But your'e right, the users should help maintain it. I'll throw in a few more bucks.

I just threw in an hour's wage.

And if this catches Haken's attention, what's up with the changing thread titles? Someone changed the title of my thread and I'm clicking on one thing only to bring up something else.
