The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

Rob said:

Also just to make the point, we're currently smashing the number of users we've had online with the server not dying!

Our "usable" limit used to be around 2000. When we used to hit more than that the server would start to die. We've hit 5500 before but if anyone remembers that, the site was basically dead and not functioning.

We're at 4000 users now and still climbing and the server is fine. That's because it's bloody expensive! So donations do really make a difference.

(Also note that COYS, FTL, SO, etc have less than a quarter of the users we have on line, when you add them all together!)

Ive locked this thread only for a moment to give you the chance to go and sling the weeks housekeeping money into the donation pot. Why on earth would you want to squander your money on food and rent when you get such entertainment here.

We promise not a penny raised will go toward a new pair of tights for nicdic.

So off you go, put everything you have into the pot. Please.

EDIT: Apparently I haven't locked the thread
