    Let's be patient - remember it's c0w's weekend too! I'm sure he will let us know when/if anything of significance happens. :)

    Memory tested okay too. Oh boy, now the can of worms is open... I'm doing an extended test on the hard drive now just to be sure. This might take a while too. :(

    Okay that second test didn't take as long as I thought. It looks like all our hardware is good. This actually is a good thing, it just means it will be harder for me to pinpoint what the exact problem is in our software. I'm going to work on updating a few things and doing some other maintenance tasks, then I will bring the lobby online for us to test out. Don't expect all the servers to be brought back online until we do some testing and a few more reboots.

    I'm sure c0w is working as fast and hard as he can. Keep in mind, that this is his weekend as well, and I'm sure he didn't want to spend it working on the server either. Hes trying his best to make things faster for us, to make playing on the Sandlot more enjoyable. He barely plays on Sandlot, so hes doing this for us. ^^

    1) You are reading this. 2) You are human. 3) You can’t say the letter ”P” without separating your lips. 4) You just attempted to do it. 6) You are laughing at yourself. 7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped Number 5. :cool: You just checked to see if there is a Number 5. 9) You laugh at this. 10) You are probably going to copy and paste this to see if somebody falls for it.

    Before making too many changes, potentially compounding the complexity... if you don't already have it in place, some server stats monitoring (capturing cpu, memory, disk queue length, at least) would be really good to have. Hardware loves to test nicely, and some stuff just appears under load. It's nice to be able to correlate those captured data points with lag reports and service logs.

    And thank you c0w. I know this isn't how you want to spend your weekend.
