Broke 1000 Chatters

Last night we broke 1000 simultaneous chatters across our beta sites. Hooray!

Then the servers crashed :)

It took a while to get things back up and running and though I'm sure it was annoying for you all, everyone was a real trooper. Some of you even got smileys!

We're still trying to discover the bottleneck of the problem, and we think it may have had to do with our outgoing bandwidth transmission caps. We've since upgraded these, and hopefully that will get us to our next stress test.

Just want to remind all of you that this is a BETA test and that these issues might be common. Did I say might? I meant darned well will happen dag nab it!

Our promise
We promise that although things will crash and problems will occur, we will work so so hard at getting things back in order and then explaining to you what happened in an open way.

And maybe even throw out some smileys.
