Support NeoGAF

[Miles Quaritch]

I hope not. Gaf being down during and after the One reveal were bad times. Ghettoing it on the FB page was not cool man.

 

[Sheeshor]

GAF is really terrible during E3 week anyway. It honestly brings the worst out of everyone.

It allready started though.

 

[Deku Tree]

Well they exploded during the MS Xbone reveal...

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Of course it will. You couldn't even get on GAF during the MS press event.

It reminds me of every time EA releases a new sports game and they can't plan ahead enough to allow for the huge influx of players. Instead they always just give themselves this pathetic pat on the back and say, "wow we didn't realize so many people wanted to play our game! LOL"

Dammit now all I can think about is how much I hate EA.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

You must be new here lol

Not newborn new.......maybe toddler. lol
But seriously, this will be my 1st E3 where so much stuff will be announced and shown(new consoles)

 

[red731]

Like every year

I would like them not to, though.

 

[polyh3dron]

They exploded during the XBOne reveal, so yeah.

 

[China Dont Care]

With the power of THE CLOUD it won't go down

 

[(._.)]

the site is down like every three minutes during e3. did you find out recently about neogaf?

 

[Mushroomer25]

I doubt it will even be operational from the 10th to the 12th. Make plans elsewhere.

 

[Nemesis121]

Avatars disable, 504gateway error all day and every day

 

[Jinko]

They explode every time there is an event, Like 2 days ago for example.

 

[Instro]

Evilore should borrow some of MS's cloud.

 

[krae_man]

GAF should have never went always online.

 

[MulderWasTaken]

Well, of course.

 

[Kikarian]

Yes. Although it may last a little longer than it usually does.

 

[khaaan]

Yep. I don't even know if there's any significant value to them being up though since most of the posts that do get through are either along the lines of "OMFG Megaton!!" or "This is so boring, where are the games!?".

 

[Deadstar]

If NeoGAF activates the cloud during E3 it will become 40x more powerful. We must hope this is what happens.

 

[ripastraea]

Yes

but it's not like I can keep up with the threads anyway

 

[Rhapsody]

Always has. Expecting the same this year.

 

[Exterminieren]

This is the same GAF that was taken down by a piece of Sonic concept art last week, correct?

 

[K1ng P3n]

Would you really expect anything less?

 

[need4speed]

GAF won't be GAF without the Server Outages during e3, its a tradition :lol

 

[Imm0rt4l]

we've already had to get rid of the 'who quoted me' feature, albeit temporarily.

 

[Bulzeeb]

They exploded during the XBOne reveal, so yeah.

And don''t forget about Sanic in the SEGA direct

edit:

beaten, kinda...

 

[KnockOneOff]

I think evil lord should change the 505 page to a troll face in preparation

 

[skarabrae]

It always does.

Edit:

I second this.

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

The best moments are the ones when the servers are flickering and you post your wisdom three times because you are not sure it went through. Then press F5 at least ten times and pray to all known deities that GAF is still alive. The joy when you read your own posting and the surprise that the thread now has ten more pages.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Guru meditation is tradition during E3. It is a time for self healing.

 

[malfcn]

Quote-searches were removed, but not avatars?
Are other features going to be striped down for E3?

 

[Seik]

Isn't it like the second or third thread about GAF's servers melting down at E3 in a month?

Poor guys doing the maintenance. D:

 

[Ark]

 

[Cromat]

The jokes and reactions here are the only thing I enjoy about these things so I really hope it stays up.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

 

[Mass Effect]

Yes.

There is no hope.

 

[Winterfang]

Remove avatars, Double the servers and nuke Off-topic. Is the only way it will hold.

 

[Killthee]

Of course they will. It's a tradition.

GAF won't be GAF without the Server Outages during e3, its a tradition :lol

 

[Strike]

It happens every E3.

 

[LorDjidane]

GAF Without the power of the cloud



GAF with the power of the cloud...46x better

Nice one sir.

 

[Beermeister]

 

[ii Stryker]

the servers buckled under the weight of traffic during and after the XBO unveil

E3 is that X 10000

 

[GutsOfThor]

Pretty much guaranteed which is why I use the facebook group or just skip the whole thing altogether and wait for the summary's.

 

[i-Lo]

GAF Without the power of the cloud



GAF with the power of the cloud...46x better

But isn't GAF already in the cloud? Or does that cloud need another cloud.

[daveo42]

The servers won't explode.

You just won't be able to connect to the site for a bit.

 

[Minions]

If they disable guest access it could help tremendously.

 

[RetroStu]

Admins and mods say they can't limit the forum because the forum is open to everyone blah blah but the forum ends up in meltdown for hours anyway so what difference does it make?.
Atleast limit the forum for the 1 or 2 hours when the conferences are on.

 

[hoserx]

heads it runs like a slug, tails it runs like a slug.

 

[sephi22]

Most certainly.

 

[TriniTrin]

The servers exploded when the XBone was announced! E3 will be the apocalypse!

 

[AuthenticM]

Evilore should take additional measures besides growing the number of servers. He should disable the site for non-members, disable off-topic and the community sections, as well as avatars and images. It'll only last for the duration of the conferences, so it's no big deal.
