GTPlanet Scheduled Site Maintenance Notice: May 19/20

[theRealMeyer]

Glad it worked out! 👍

 

[Darren.]

Looks like we're back. This place feels... deserted now. Not to mention it feels a lot quicker. Less than a second to open the page. 👍

 

[Jordan]

...and we're back!

Yes, sorry for the delay, but everything went well. Thanks for your patience, guys. Now we just need to break in that new Ethernet cable.

 

[m8h3r]

Glad it went alright. I need my daily doses of my beloved GTPlanet

Tip of the day: If you're using the GTPlanet app for apple then go to the users online section. You can keep refreshing and watching the people amass

Congratulations on the successful migration Jordan! 👍

 

[tlowr4]

Nice work, glad it all went well. May just be my imagination, but the site seems a little snappier now. Good since I don't have a great connection myself

 

[White & Nerdy]

Well, my account and group are still here, so it looks like there were no major issues. Glad the move went well (and happened when I wasn't trying to use GTP).

Hey Jordan, congratulations on successfully "moving a planet". And by the way, how many miles has your new Ethernet cable done already 👍 ?

Well, my account and group are still here, so it looks like there were no major issues. Glad the move went well (and happened when I wasn't trying to use GTP).

Everything seems to be intact and running as usual 👍 .

 

[Ross]

Congrats on the move Jordan. The pages are loading much faster now.

Ethernet?

I thought you would be using fiber optical stuff.

Site does seem better though.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Congrats, it worked.

Damn. It didn't work...

 

[Epic B]

This seem to have happened over my overnight. Time zones can really throw you off. But I'm glad it worked. I thought I'd have to go a day without visiting this place. Now to get back to my usual pattern of Internet. Congratulations on the successful move!

 

[Jordan]

Ethernet?

I thought you would be using fiber optical stuff.

Site does seem better though.

No, fiber is only typically connected directly to a machine when very high bandwidth is required, such as a connection to a busy database server or a SAN. Most web servers like GTPlanet's are connected to local switches and routers in a datacenter via gigabit Ethernet, which provides more than enough capacity. Of course, the facility itself is then connected to the Internet with multiple fiber-optic connections.

 

[m8h3r]

What sort of figures does GTPlanet get a day, Jordan?

 

[White & Nerdy]

Don't bother asking him, the answer is OVER 9000. Your welcome Jordan.

Really? The time to open the page is the same as before for me. Though Google Chrome is starting to run super-fast.

[Phoenix]

the answer is OVER 9000.

👍

Looks like the move went smooth with no troubles, though I haven't noticed any changes in loading times or anything.

But thats probably because of super awesome slow internet connection so.

 

[Jordan]

The server is still on the same network infrastructure, so performance should not be affected.

What sort of figures does GTPlanet get a day, Jordan?

In terms of bandwidth? Currently, on an average day, the site will move around 50GB of data.

That's still over 9000... megabytes.

 

[Coxis]

In terms of bandwidth? Currently, on an average day, the site will move around 50GB of data.

That's rather impressive. Are these GTPlanet's figures only, or is ForzaPlanet included?

 

[Jordan]

That's for both sites, but considering ForzaPlanet gets about 2% of the traffic that GTPlanet does, it likely only contributes a gigabyte or so to the total bandwidth consumption.

 

[Furinkazen]

That's for both sites, but considering ForzaPlanet gets about 2% of the traffic that GTPlanet does, it likely only contributes a gigabyte or so to the total bandwidth consumption.

So that would make what... 50 gig overall consumption?

 

[GlennGolfer1]

Did the site crash last night around 1AM EST, or was my computer wacky?

 

[Jordan]

Everything has been fine since the server move, Glenn.

 

[GlennGolfer1]

Thanks Jordan, I've been having problems with hackers going through my play station at night while running my B guys, I'm sure that was it again.
