I'm a big fan of this site, but why advertize a round by round when the site's going to crash every few minutes during it?
Can something be done to prevent that? :confused:
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.
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.
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 :(
