Everybody (kernel) panic! Sorry for the downtime…

February 4th, 2008 Chris "Kramez" Kramer

men at workSo, congratulations if you can read this, it means our servers are momentarily working. I’d like to personally apologize to the internet at large for our current inability to get our nonsense sorted. Our blog, various portions of the website and the forums are going up and down like trained seals at Sea World (I could have opted for something dirtier here, but we follow the spirit of the ESRB guidelines, if not the letter).
You may have noticed the time (and money) that Capcom has put into growing our online community presence over the last year. The good news is that in the last 16 months, our traffic and registered users has jumped by a huge factor, something along the lines of 4x where we were when Seth and I started here in Nov. 2006. The bad news is that this huge growth in traffic means that our poor, cranky servers are as overwhelmed as Jessica Simpson at a spelling bee. Bright side is that new servers have been ordered, so we should be rocking some serious hardware next week. Until then, please bear with us.

And there’s more interesting things than that brewing too, but we’ can’t talk about that “yet”. :)
