I want to send a huge, huge thank you to my friend Jon who handles administration of the dedicated server that runs all of Petopia.
I expected that I would need to take the forums down today. I feared but half-expected that the main Petopia site would go down at least once.
Now we're burning through bandwidth at an incredible rate - earlier it was in the 30 Mbps range - but we haven't gone down. I didn't even need to take the forums down!
Jon is a wizard. He's amazing. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you, Jon!

Mmm, I thought there was something unusual going on, but I couldn't put my finger on it! The patch didn't crash Petopia, woo! *cheers at Jon - bakes cookies*

Re: Thank you, Jon!
This makes me wonder just how much bandwidth the wow servers chew up.
Re: Thank you, Jon!
Enough that the people they hired to make the servers go didn't want to keep working for them, or so I heard years ago.AdamSavage wrote:This makes me wonder just how much bandwidth the wow servers chew up.
Having seen what small hiccups can happen to Petopia on off days... I want to know what kind of black magic Jon has.
You're amazing, sir!
