Site and Round by Round Crashing

i was never lucky to get in a round by round coverage and being in the middle of the Sahara, it really s_cks that i really dont get the feel of a fight until its over, i hope to login one of these days on r by r coverages... just an idea bros., not really sure if it will work... to save bandwith during round by round coverage, maybe the admins can turn off some features

A good server will probably cost 20-40 K, that would be my guess. It all depends on how much bandwith they use. All they need is a faster server, something over 100mbit, and fully-dedicated, which is expensive. The server company they use (my guess) shares their line with other sites, so once there line takes 10% or more bandwith of the entire line, other customers interests come into play and they just limit the bandwith available.

i would gladly give money for that but how bout this i know where to get the live feed for the fights

Well the traffic is a good thing because this is a great site, but it's a double edged sword at times I guess.

Our server is practically as high as we can take it. The only thing we can do, and we plan to do - is to add another server to help run the site. The server to run the site has been upgraded four times. A second server will get added in order to ensure the site stays up. Keep in mind that while several thousands are coming for the Round by Round, another thousand or so are reading the round by round in the forum. We are almost at the level of needed a cluster of servers to run the site, which is VERY expensive. We will likey go with just adding another server.

I'm not trying to be a dick, and I get that it's high traffic. I was just wondering if anything can be done.

Well this site gets an obscene amount of hits during fights which they do a Round by Round. The only way to really prevent it is to upgrade servers but that is unlikely since it would be so unused for the most part. I agree this has happened to me many times on this site but they do not have the money for another server :(
