It now works again, hurray. I saw the same message

 

[plopperz]

Down for me
EDIT: Same with .de

Stop with the F5, people. It isn't even the right hour yet.

 

[PokeParadox]

Yeah... stop with the F5, because it's an email going out... there's no reason to refresh the site...

 

[EvilDragon]

Geeez!
We have THOUSANDS of requests on openpandora.org, openpandora.de, gp2x.de and all of those subdomains... (Archive, German board, German Shop, etc.)

PLEASE BE PATIENT!
The server is SOOO busy... it will come back once things settle down.

REALLY impressive how many users we have - must be a few thousand at once!

STOP HITTING REFRESH

You are going to get an email of how to pre-order if you signed up for the news-letter! Refresh your mail account instead!

 

[joa]

I had a feeling the server would get overloaded...

 

[---_Won_---]

And so it starts, good luck chaps

 

[benjiro]

Well, thats a good thing ;-)

Be sure to get your mysql database with memory cache enabled, and increase the connection limit. Or else i fear its going to go down a few more times.

Hehe, I've noticed that.
Was it that unexpected? I thought such a server can easily handle thousands of requests and only in the million-number-area starts the "DoS"- fun. ^_^

Anyway, I'm sure the things will come together over the time. I've not even hit F5 a single time so it's not my fault, I can wait.

September 30th: M I N I M A L mode. Server is being hammered by Pandora people!

Oh noes, it's the Pandora people! :lol:

 

[craigix]

Please wait for the newsletter, it will be within the next hour and a half.

 

[Wonderdog]

LOCK AND LOAD, CLEAR THOSE MURDERHOLES, AND I'LL SEE YOU ON THE BEACH!

Yes, the Digg thing wont be helping the poor webservers.

Got my debit card sitting here, twitching in anticipation...

 

[mika13]

Oh noes, it's the Pandora people! :lol:

THEY are everywhere!!!

 

[Alpha2]

Also the first person to get an email will probably post the info here too so there's no reason to kill the site with constant refreshing.

 

[cosurgi]

Moderators - could you merge those two threads?
EDIT: I mean with this ony by EvilDragon

 

[icurafu]

yeah, check th unique users and you will see atomictumbs and co IP addresses.

 

[mika13]

don't worry guys, keep refreshing. nothing will stop us from refreshing!

 

[PokeParadox]

I think a STOP HITTING REFRESH notice should be stickied too...
