Nokia’s N900 Brings Forum Servers to their Knees
Nokia’s N900 Brings Forum Servers to their Knees
The anticipation for the Nokia N900 has been nothing short of phenomenal. Today, as reports of the first users receiving their devices started to trickle in, the number of forum users started to swell over at talk.maemo.org. The site began exhibiting slowness. I checked the number of users online sometime around 10:30 a.m. and saw well over 1000 users logged in. Then, a little after 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), just when the east coast users get to their lunch breaks, the site couldn’t cope any more and became completely unresponsive. I guess the folks over at maemo.org now need to beef up their website for the increase of traffic this little jewel is generating. Oh, the joys and perils of success!
