This is incorrect and misleading.
While the incoming messages are posted to the Zephyr message system, this is merely provides a quick&dirty way for myself and others to monitor the Forum 2000 site remotely. The Zephyr interface also parses a few admin commands that the site understands, such as reboot, ban user, and the like.
We used zephyr because it uses Kerberos authentication, so it's easy for people to administrate the system remotely and securely.
The attention we are receiving from./ is most welcome! We are experiencing some technical difficulties due to the vastly increased load; we appreciate your patience during this time of transition.
We are pleased to report, however, that our recently acquired redundant parallel storage system has gone a long way to help buffer this crisis.
We do have a special request for Slashdot readers: we would greatly appreciate it if you would restrict your postings to original questions, rather than material cut&pasted from our home page or from other sources. Repetitive, unoriginal input text tends to cause numerical instability in our NLP algorithms (performance of the FPUs in our Kryotech Athlon 900s seems to be particularly sensitive to divides by near-zero numbers)
