    FerrariChat.com has had a constant traffic increase since its founding in late 2000. One old record was the single instance unique user activity. Back in 2007 we had average at a time usage of 400-500 users. Sometime during that year one of the Enzo crashes we spiked up to just over 1,000 and hadn't broken that until today with release of the LaFerrari.

    Record online users 1100 (Today 10:04 AM)

    Yesterday we also broke a record with 25,447 unique visits. Usually Monday is the highest traffic of the week, but we may break that record again today.

    pretty much, our usual concurrent load is 600-800 users, so it is certainly 30-40%!

    Interesting reminder that although the FChat community is made up of thousands of individuals and lifelong friendships and unique people, the physical place where we all gather is really just a few computers in a rack among a bunch of other computers in a temperature controlled room somewhere. :D

    It's an eMachines box sitting under a grungy kitchen table at Rob's house, with a smear of day-old peanut butter on the 3.5" floppy drive from Mia's lunch.

    That's a little unfair, he showed me the server farm once. I snuck a pic.

    :D

    That's ahead of Google's first server! [Now in the Computer History Museum in San Jose] - Talk about a home made POS - There's cardboard sheets keeping the M/boards apart in the rack.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Chas gets post of the day!

    number of users and network traffic is only up about 30% today, but server admin said the database traffic was up 3x. maybe Chas is on to something. :)

    Record online users 1104 (Today 10:59 AM)

    I would say you get the Rossa F40 keys next, but no one has seen them since Carbon had it last.
