ANNOUNCEMENT : BC server downtime - June 29th, 2.45PM PDT

**ctjcad** · 07-04-2008, 02:42 AM

....too much surfing BC, eh??... I thought, for a second, you took a sabbatical from BC to party after Spain's victory..

Anyway, other than a couple of very brief hiccups in BC, you didn't miss much~good to have you back & feeling well...

Hahaha... kwun was still trying to fix up a few things for Badminton Central.

Just 12 hours ago, when I tried to log in, I found this message...

====== * ====== start message ====== * ======

BadmintonCentral.com forum is currently down for site maintainance, will be back shortly.

apologize to those who are online. since my prep work for the server migration has been completed, and that i find there are few members online, i have decided to move the downtime earlier.

we apologize for the inconvenience caused... in your service,
- BadmintonCentral.com staff

the usage silly message:

While you wait, how about pulling your racket from your racket bag, take a piece of silk cloth and carefully wipe off all the shuttle marks on it? after that, take your rackets and practice some overhead swings. make sure you rotate your body, pronate your wrist, and follow-through in a very smooth and fluid motion. for extra credit, make sure your motion is relaxed but tenses up at the moment of impact. please be extra careful if you have a low ceiling.

so far the server has been holding up with flying colors. neither the disks nor cpu has been too highly loaded despite having up to 2000 users online. i notice zero perceptable slow down.

i am not seeing the user number hitting the level that we saw in the TC though. maybe the semi/finals will surprise us.

Kwun, can you fix the broken URL? I PMed you and the mods about it.

kwun ... It's great that our server has been holding up with flying colors.

However, our record of 2,914 users online on 16-May-2008 remains unbroken.

Yes, the TC hit us at BC more than the OG.

Perhaps it's because live matches from the OG were shown more, compared to from the TC.

yes indeed!!

i monitored the server load and disk access load. server load never went above 2.0, as we have 8 cpu cores it should handle up to 8.0.

disk load is less easy to measure as it fluctuate but it was no where nearly 100% utilized.

pity that we didn't break any record. i saw the user online went as high as in the low 2,000. we will try again next time!

With some server adjustments it should be better. I notice on more than one occasion if one were to post something, the page does not refresh even thou it did post - verified this from different locations.

Also, the broken link has not been addressed yet.
