With a considerable hike in traffic on our subsites for The Witcher and Neverwinter Nights 2, our server is seeing very high load during peak times (daytime US hours). I've already contacted our rep at Verio and am working on the paperwork for yet another significant upgrade to our hardware. If all goes well, we'll have something in place by next week. Please be patient in the meantime

vBulletin's "Who's Online" stats haven't been entirely accurate for a few years now. We've seen a small decline in forum traffic as some of our bigger games become less popular over time, but we certainly haven't gone from 1500 users online to 250 online. I think it has to do with some of the coding changes we've made over the years to keep people logged in as they browse the rest of the site. One of these days, I'll have to poke around and see if I can figure out how the active users are actually being calculated.
