/.ed site (Score 1)

Thanks everyone for visiting the http://www.designtechnica.com site. For the edification of everyone here, the site was /.ed because of Mysql calls that ran the box out of physical memory. The site was load balanced and has handled slashdot several times over but it is apparent that we will have to add more memory to the box and possibly streamline some pages. The issue was the designtechnica site has grown to where it is already handling tons of hits daily. Ordinarily, we wouldn't really expect the sort response from this type of article on Sunday evening (EST), and we really thank everyone for the free load testing. All that being said, thanks again for your input we greatly appreciate the participation and should note that our hosting company is incredible. --bcwebd
