Post subject: Attention All Browncoats!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're so excited about all the activity here on the boards! You've managed to get these boards rolling at a record setting pace-seriously! As I am sure you know, things are chugging at a real slow pace and we want to fix this ASAP. In order to optimize server speed and make the user experience as trouble-free as possible, we will be taking down the boards from 2:30 PM EST to 7:30 EST. We know that puts a cramp in things, but have faith in us while we make these neccesary fixes. We appreciate your patience and support.

Edited to Add: This is another thing that is Pip's fault!

I hope they are able to fix the problem. We Browncoats should be proud in a weird way that we were able to crash the site in less than one day and have gained such a momentum that they have to take the boards down to make it better.

Oh, and they just topped 3600 members.

Yah... I actually received an email, as I'm sure all Browncoats did, letting me know about the down time.

Nice of them to keep us in the loop. I don't think they quite expected the response they got. I think we really overwhelmed them... SHINY!

Not being able to handle being slashdotted is a good indication that the site needs to be upgraded. Good to hear that they're making an effort to upgrade their site.

Yep, I got the e-mail, too. I just didn't realize it... LOL

Seems to have fixed it. Site is definitely looking good. I notice that people have stopped joining at the pace we were at. That means we aren't doing our job so post that link everywhere and anywhere. Doesn't matter where. Just do it.

Any other sites like Slashdot.org?
