So what kind of traffic is AI putting up with, anyway?

Admins? Any info on how many hits/page views we're getting here?

Sometimes I'm in awe of this place, it's worse than Ars Technica for posting frequency at times! (which is amazing...)

I'm just curious what kind of traffic we're talking about here.

Thanks!

I wonder how the server is doing under these loads...

...I bet it's more than a gigabyte a day in shear traffic! With the iWalk BS, more like three gigs!

Could be, but I doubt it. Text is really small, and most of the images get cached in the user's browsers, so they only have to load once. I'd say maybe 200 MB/day, which is no problem for any server since the 7300/180 (which, incidentally, is what I use to host the websites that I create for my clients).

Of course, that could be way off. Maybe many more people read the boards and don't ever post than we know about. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

The forums went down this morning at around 12:15 PST...

I guess too many people were tryng to talk about the iwalk and new slogan for hte servers to live.

I believe 27 gigs were served in the last month from the collective AI/NN forums.

Server's fine, though.

As much as ArsTechnica?

HA!

ghost_user_name · January 3, 2002 11:25PM

yeah. server here even under all this load = 3% cpu usage.

for both AI and NN forums.

Ain't goin down this year, boys.

Temporary blackouts are the fault of the ISP but should be resolved now-...

We don't even compare to Ars, by the way.

...how in the hell can you do 227GB in a month! From what, a CNN.com?

...are you guys familiar with Sawmill? <a href="http://www.sawmill.net/"; target="_blank">http://www.sawmill.net/</a>; If you are poor, you can get the 30 day free trial and see the patterns in your website via the log files (access_log and error_log).

...if you are an admin, maybe you can run this program and let us know the truth statistics of AI.

I'm also amazed at the number of new members.

I remember probably a month (or less) ago there were 1442 registered members, as posted on the forums main page. I won't bother you with why this number has any significance for me - but it's why I really remember that number.

So now we're at almost 2100 members. That's 600+ in a month. Wow.

227 gigs served last month (Dec) for AI/NN.

Page views this month (01/2002): 345837.

It's my fault. I just sit on pages and hit 'reload' all day long.
