Why does mn keep breaking?

Hi OYBBK, we have a bit of a bottleneck on one of the machines at MNHQ at the moment, which means when the site is very busy it gets overloaded and can make the site unresponsive. We are doing some work that will split some of that machine's load across a number of others, which will help. We are working on it but it's quite complex and will take a while to set up.

Cool. Thanks for the 'splaination. Good luck with sorting it.

OYBBK, just so you know - this is the machine Tech's talking about <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=hamster+wheel+generator&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1389&bih=737&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=sYgQJF1qPkvDjM:&imgrefurl=craziestgadgets.com/2008/02/28/the-animatrix-is-real-hamster-powered-generator/&docid=r5kUrLPMSPVBDM&imgurl=craziestgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/hamster-wheel.jpg&w=300&h=225&ei=aFvWT4_bCMjg8gOLksSZAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=338&vpy=149&dur=97&hovh=180&hovw=240&tx=119&ty=81&sig=104794699034716058369&page=1&tbnh=120&tbnw=157&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:75" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hamster powered server

Can't they just feed it more sunflower seeds???

Just turn it off and turn it on again.

Oh we do, regular like.

Thanks for the explanation tech. It's nice to know there is a real reason.

I always now have the image of MN's servers looking like the Bombes at Bletchley Park.

You need one of these
