Somebody mentioned that they wanted to see our analytics graph with all of this vB4-hype. Well, here's a very basic visual:
It sure is a trick. It's already falling down to the original norm. Last night's server issues aren't doing any service.
We saw a similar lift in traffic when the Monorail accidents happened at Walt Disney World and we, fortunately, were able to keep our daily traffic near (within 10%) of that traffic high! Hopefully AA can keep it up as well :thumbup:
It was inevitable. The server loads jumped to 15%, hardware was malfunctioning, and the site wouldn't load. Two hours went by before we were able to even successfully make a backup. :frown: There was no way around it.
It was indeed a long evening, and Chris was up wayy later than I, into the early of this morning (I believe...). I can't imagine how tired he was/is.
