I left work early today with some sort of virus. Spent most of the afternoon moaning on the couch (temperature was up to 103 degrees before I took some medication). Stupid viruses. Unfortunately I’m overseeing a meeting at work tomorrow that I absolutely have to be there to make sure it goes off without a hitch. Then more couch time.
After the week-long downtime I was worried that it might take a while for the traffic to pick up again. In fact, traffic has been through the roof since Seth got everything back online again. There are some excellent conversations going on at AnimalRights.Net where there about 80-100 new posts every day now.
In fact my server at a whole is quickly approaching the point where it will have more than 60,000 messages. I remember when I was first considering using Conversant asking if it would scale to active sites with large messagebases and high daily traffic. And the answer has been overwhelmingly yes as Seth has made a lot of progress on optimizing the software.
