I'm at work so I have to make this quick, but wanted to give everyone an update while I had a minute.
Very early this morning I had the processor upgraded on the main server to better handle the nationally televised night games, which tend to be when we have the maximum number of people in here refreshing the game thread. Obviously we lost it for the last five minutes of Sunday night's fiasco - so after discussing it with them and looking at the cause of the server freezing I went ahead with it. They took it down around 3am ET and I believe we were down for about an hour during the changeover.
Things have worked pretty well the past few weeks and the game days up to that point had gone off without a hitch, so this should take care of the last scenario which we experienced Sunday night. I've scheduled them to be with us to monitor it during the New Orleans game in two weeks, which would be the next big nationally televised game for us when we tend to have more people here. Provided the load is handled well during that I think this should solve that last problem.
So anyone who was here this morning and couldn't get on, that was the reason.
