That Guy Veteran Posted August 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hah, you beat me to making this topic. In the last 10 minutes, 6 pages have been unavailable, the rest incredibly slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted August 8, 2008 Developer Share Posted August 8, 2008 today has been a bad day for me trying to post on neowin, the site is very slow and often times out on mehas the upgrade finished? As you will see from the message on the front page, only phase one of the move is complete. Phase 2, bringing the old servers to the new DC, is just getting under way now. If you check the frontpage and the announcements forum, you will see when it is complete. To top it off, we're currently on the frontpage of slashdot, which is not great when running on one server instead of the usual four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please try again later Yeah, that would be because we've taken the search engine offline.... Sphinx, which we use for search, is on one of the old boxes, which are currently in the back of a car leaving the old DC. I'm afraid we forgot to equip them with wireless cards, so unfortunately, we can't make use of them at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
