+1 web server!

For those who wants to know...
The issue was rather odd that prevented me from ordering another server earlier.
Our web server gets quite a load to serve. Normally, we get roughly 10,000~13,000 requests a minute. But once it spikes up to 17K (due to surge in traffic, some of which has been caused by bots recently -- tyvm), it wouldn't be able to recover from it. So, the server goes to a crawl; unable to serve anyone, not even 9,000 requests anymore. To give an analogy, take a highway. if the highway is capable of pushing 1000 cars / min, up to close capacity of cars, while packed, the highway still allows the cars to run at high speeds. But, once it's over capacity, everyone starts to go into a stand still of jam packed cars. The highway is no longer even capable of pushing 100 cars / min. The same phenomenon exists here. However, we are not a highway. Servers should recover faster. Not only did it fail to recover fast, it didn't recover at all (possibly because we always have a ton of traffic) by itself. This was a great puzzle to me and my sys admin (who is kinda famous for being awesome in the industry)...
In the end, I'm throwing more money at it to solve the problem. And it sure has solved it... Enjoy the speed everybody!
Although, I actually did order 'earlier', just that... "There has been a transformer explosion at Corelink Las Vegas which is affecting power to their facility. Since we use them as one of our network PoP's, we've been busy making some adjustments to keep our network running in case we lose connectivity through that PoP." which delayed the actual deployment. I put up the 3rd server about 30 seconds after the link was finally connected.

For pony!!!
Miseng is supposedly the Prince of Zahard and thus, a trap. SIU, you've completely outdone yourself this time.
And I'm very sorry, I just rarely accept friend requests these days. I don't really do Facebook friend requests. Maybe next time.

Even though I like TOG, I have no favourite characters. There are only characters I get attached to, for the moment and some traits I adore, just for a while. In the same way, there is no character I hate or dislike. I may get annoyed, angry and so on, for a while.

Awesome,... though doesn't it hurt to keep sinking in money, into Batoto?
Depends on the earning, Do think they earn a lot of money on this though ~

It means that one of the transformers (they transform high power from the powerplants, to the one you can use) blew up..
Also, nice upgrade. All hail Grumpy \o/
