[max]

shit!...

we're losing all the impulse donations..

this is bad....has to be a hack job

 

[bobmurph]

seriously...this is absolutely brutal

 

[braeden0613]

well i guess its a positive that people are looking him up but yeah...get the site up now!!

 

[maverickdy]

could be ppl just bombarding the site... just like these forums crash after nearly every debate.

 

[Akus]

that's ok

a passionate voter will wait and donate when the storm calms down a bit.

seriously...this is absolutely brutal

This scares the crap out of me.

If you're a regular, please do not visit the official website!!!! Wait to donate later if you must. It is extremely important that newcomers have no problem with it. So lay off for a while please!

 

[mavtek]

yea I'm a bit worried myself.

 

[KewlRonduderules]

The donation page still works!!! DOnate if you need to but don't go to the main page.

https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/


and if you are not a newbie. Wait till later to donate.

 

[mavtek]

Although I will say, the server upgrades appear to be working, WOOT!

it might not be a hack job. 800 people on here, I can't guess how many were loading their page before it crashed.

It's a good thing. The hq site, as far as I know, has never crashed cause too many people were trying to donate and find out about the man.

Though let's hope it gets back up soon

i am finding this hard to believe this is the work of a lot of people visiting the site..

 

[njandrewg]

fred08 is loading w/o any problems
Mike huckabee is a little slow

Terrible Planning

I'm sorry, but this is the first time I've posted something negative about the campaign.


It is completely unacceptable that this could happen. There are many smart people who know how to design a web site that scales.

This is really infuriating. Almost more infuriating than the 20% who boo in the debate.

this is actually not that difficult, it's a heavy page, 1000 hits per second and depending on their servers the site can go down - honestly, i'm happy about it, apparently dr paul scored big time !!

yeah their front page is very filled with crap now, might have been wise to put up a low resource page instead

They need to implement a load balancer with a priority queuing scheme.

Usually its the uplink pipe that is the bottleneck.

 

[devil21]

Yeah but does it matter if they can't access the site? Hopefully more people will use alternate sites like YouTube until the site is back up. I agree though, its unacceptable for a candidate's page to crash under ANY load.
