Re: 2010 Los Angeles Regional Webcast - Hosted by Team 1515 MorTorq

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I was in charge of the web stream and our webmaster who posted this thread helped out a bunch as well.

We had some issues Friday because we embedded the ustream on our homepage and had a chat, match scores, the match schedule there along with a few other things that made up a nice OI......opps user interface. We revived over 10,000 hits Friday and our server kept crashing because of the load, according to our logs we crashed when the 381 person attempted to simultaneously connect to our server. (This is a virtual dedicated server no shared BS) We decided Friday night that we would let Justin TV handle the load for Saturday which ended up being a good decision since we had 6,032 viewers (double what we had Friday).

I am sorry to those who could only get Ustream and not JustinTV, I honestly thought about this and though that if companies blocked 1 they would sure block the others and JustinTV offered a better native resolution than Ustream which we upsized on our site.

I have posted some fun stats from Friday below:
82,320 Minuets of Video Watched
10,541 Website Hits
3,053 Stream Hits
2,106 Unique Viewers
16 Countries
5 Server Crashes
5 Server Restarts
2 New Backup Servers
1 New Video Server
1 Day Left
0 new expected crashes

Unfortunately due tot he Justin TV switch the only stat I have from Saturday is:
6,032 Stream Viewers
