Expected downtime
Apr 16 2008, 4:08 AM

 |
Due to our mention on Gamesradar last month and the highly unbalanced traffic it caused, this site will be going offline in the next couple days, and will remain offline until April 28th. Plan accordingly. The forums will still remain active. Edit: The subscription turned over 2 days early and so the site is now online again. |

Isn't there any way to increase bandwith, like by using clustered hosting or something?

HOORAY VACATION seriously though how is it that MFGG games manage to lure that much traffic to the mainsite to the point of killing it for a few weeks? |

It requires an infrastructure for maintaining satellite repositories though. The fact that we let you update your submissions is the primary complication. |

Dammit, people. Can't some of this "quick, let's download" stuff just wait? How about only downloading stuff you absolutely need right now, and then waiting for the rest? It'll be pretty aggravating if the site goes down early because of people downloading en masse right now. |
