| MetalTalk.net BACK ONLINE AFTER HIGH TRAFFIC CRASHES SERVER 22nd May 2012  The brand new MetalTalk server system. It kicks ass! MetalTalk.net is back online. We were only down for less than two days but it felt like a lot longer. All the problems are fully sorted now and we're ready to start work again. We've had a serious increase in traffic this last few weeks and eventually, the server couldn't cope with it and the site crashed. So we went out and got ourselves a big fuck-off shiny brand new server system (pictured above) which will handle the traffic very easily and it's working like a dream so far. Article continues below...  So we need to do some catching up today and we've got some killer articles being prepared right now. Stand by for our review of Unisonic's Sao Paulo gig last weekend and more than one big name exclusive and a lot more besides... Our review of Black Sabbath's Birmingham gig on Saturday is already online and you can read it by clicking here. |
