Welcome to the new Cluster

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here-we-are dept.

We're up and running on the new cluster at Exodus West. The hardware configuration is almost identical to what we had on the east coast, just a few time zones over. No doubt we'll be working out a few kinks over the next few days, so hang in there. Now that that's over with, please continue swimming naked.

    How about putting up an "alternative universe slashdot" for us to play on?

    You mean like IRC bot-war channels? That's ridiculous.

  2. Relative links, guys? by Otto · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Using a different server sure would be a hell of a lot simpler if you slashdot guys would get with that whole "web thing" and make all the links on the page RELATIVE instead of ABSOLUTE..

    I mean, it's kinda annoying to use brak.slashdot.org only to have every link on every resulting page point to http://slashdot.org anyway.

    I think I speak for everyone (or, a lot of people) when I say that brak.slashdot.org was really neat (in a "we are all tripping on acid from the 30 mod points and silly stories / posts") kind of way...

    Interestingly enough, even with all the chaos, the best posts STILL rose to the top the signal to noise ratio didn't render it unreadable and the 8 or so posts I made ended up with a net moderation amount no different than I usually get on the regular Slashdot.

    Do I think 30 moderation points to EVERYONE is excessive - yes... But amazingly, it didn't break the system as badly as I would have thought.
