Bandwidth?

Well, in anticipation of a win at 5pm Saturday 25th of September, the question needs to be asked.
Will Nick's collapse under the weight of posters celebratory postings?
I'm sure even Donny will not be able to merge all the threads.
Any pre-emptive plans in place Mike?

Donny PM'd me with the same question last night - this was my response to him:

There were significant server problems last week during the Cats game and consequently we swapped servers (again) to one that was better suited for the load. This was done at the weekend and the new server handled the Brownlow load beautifully until the whole data centre suffered a brownout and went down for 20 minutes. Monday night was our highest continuous traffic load on record and we had absolutely no load issues.

We'll outgrow this server as we've outgrown every server we've used so far, but for the forseeable future, which includes tomorrow, there are no problems with the load.

I've come to Melbourne for the game, but missed out in the ballot so I won't be going to the game - had to book air travel weeks ago. It grates a bit not being able to go after putting in for so long and I'm really disappointd, but them's the breaks and the silver lining is that I'll be able monitor the server and keep it up if it threatens to chuck it in.

I should add that the server has been under an exceptionally high load continually since that night and is handling it beautifully. Fingers crossed.

%$^ that Mike.
If anyone deserves a tic you do.
Hope you are enjoying the atmosphere wherever you are watching it.
GO PIES!!!
