CoolCatBad Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Discovered an article describing Neowin's recovery from a crash some months ago, at Digg.com - http://digg.com/technology/Neowin_back_up The unpopular and slap-worthy 'technology' site, Neowin.net, is finally back up after days of downtime caused by moving their site to new servers located in Chicago. Amazingly most people have actually said the site is slower than before, making it one of the biggest ######-ups in Neowin history. Meantime the Freeware Alternative List is top of the pops at Furl.net http://www.furl.net/home.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashman Veteran Posted February 19, 2006 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2006 The site runs faster than it ever did before now, sure there were problems at the begginging, but staff have worked overtime to get this sorted. I for one think it has been a fantastic move, even with the downtime its been well worth it for me, no server busy messages, no crashes, all perfect.

chopyaedoff Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 What does this ▒▒▒▒▒ mean? and how can neowin be considered slow - i'm sure most servers would be slower than this if they had 2000+ users on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japlabot Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 WTH, if it's so unpopular, why would they make a report on their website about such a trivial issue? who even cares about what they have to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
