Update

[TomFulp]

The frontpage is back to normal now (see Wade's last post). :)

Ok... So this has been a crazy week. Our bandwidth upgrade was supposed to take place two weeks ago, but due to technical issues, it dragged on for a while. The end result was a week-long finger pointing session between four companies: our hosting facility, our bandwidth provider, the company that made our switch/router (and provides a service plan), and the company who sold us the switch/router and service plan.

I could go into specifics, but I'll save that for some other time. Tonight I've been out drinking, because IT FINALLY SEEMS TO BE FIXED! It isn't 100% complete, because it requires some work by the daytime staff at the hosting facility. But after two weeks of headache, we now have the 300mbps line turned on and connected to half our servers. Tomorrow night it should be distributed evenly. I'll post an update and let everyone know when that happens.

We are planning to move our servers to Philly at the end of the month, so there is still one more big headache ahead. Getting the site working and configured for 300mbps will be a big step forward, though. Until now everything has been split in half on two lines, but with this new single line, we will be routing everything evenly, which will really simplify the setup in the long-run. Exciting stuff. :)

It's great to hear NG will be running great. I remember a time when I couldn't even deposit at midnight without getting errors out my rearend. Now... IT'S FIXED W00T! <3

[SecretAgentBob]

Awesome. How much downtime do you expect when you move the servers to Philly?

[Masculine]

Yeah ... I love Newgrounds. It's a website in constant evolution ! Always trying to make it better for the users and stuff, updating everything, doing cool stuff, being there and all. That's why NG is so special. A true community...
We love you Tom.

[BigStud12321]

You should take an ax to your next meeting. Make your eyes buldge out a little and voila! Instant Upgrade done.

And two weeks since you could go and have a drink? That sucks. Did Wade go with you? Cause that would explain the screw up. What do you drink?

[tombhawk]

[koolmankris]

I hope NG gets unlimited Bandwidth someday....

hey if your servers were in new york that means my dad may have worked on them (ya it is a cool job)

[Randomzero]

maybe now i wont always run into messages saying the server is under extreme load at the moment blah blah blah

[Penis-CClock]

Newgrounds licks my grandma's dirty pantys.I think you all need to get a life that doesnt revolve around a stupid website

[EhFilms]

It's very nice to see Newgrounds running faster again. It was frustrating to have to actually wait (what was it, 11 whole seconds instead of 2? AAAHHHHHHHH! We've been spoiled.) for the site to load. Hmmph. Not like it stopped me from watching new flash movies anyway.
Drink a cold one for me, Tom.... I could use it for having to wait too. :)

[NeoMonkey57]

Finaly. No more, Server is under a huge load of shit or whatever

You guys are living legends!
