META: What will it take to eliminate these server issues?
I've never seen any other website crash like this. This is every time we have something big happen (for good or bad). On days like this it's such a buzzkill when you want to discuss a great win and the server constantly crashes.
How can MGoBlog get a functional server? If it's a cost issue, can we users try to chip in?

Agreed. And by agreed I mean I would be happy to chip in.

I dont know, but I’m cheap as eff, and I’m still good for $5 to fix it on game days.
Dad and I are still in blissful disbelief. The man never took a shot in his life but he joined me just now. Go blue!
November 29th, 2021 at 11:29 AM ^
I will lay $100 on the table to fix this.

Duplicate post due to server delay . . . on a Monday.
Oh, the irony.

I'm reading eleven warriors last hour. Not 1 issue. Sad here
November 27th, 2021 at 4:56 PM ^
Pretty bad - and a known issue for years.
November 27th, 2021 at 5:12 PM ^
11w was also having alot of problems at end of game fwiw. ?
November 27th, 2021 at 5:17 PM ^
Tough day for those guys, huh?

They and Alabama have the 2 most entitled fan bases and melt down in apocalyptic ways when they lose a game.

Are y’all freshman? 4 years ago no one would be posting right now. They’ve been upgraded.
November 27th, 2021 at 5:27 PM ^
I just encountered three (!) server errors trying to respond to you. Whatever we did four years ago isn't enough.
November 27th, 2021 at 5:19 PM ^
Honestly, kinda gave me a warm fuzzy feeling I’ve missed to see the server error. We finally have a win worth crashing it over!

A service that automagically expands servers as demand grows is expensive - especially on the database side. And this (well, all) message board is DB intensive. I don't think they make much money off the message board, so its probably not worth the expense. I know they use some mitigation tools, like Cloudflare, but when you need to expand service as demand grows like today, they aren't quite adequate.

Call our bluff. Tell us how much it will cost.
11 W seems to be able to make it work.
November 27th, 2021 at 5:33 PM ^
Servers are waaaaaaay better than they used to be.
Hiw many stand alone independent websites that gets this kind of traffic do you frequent? This isn’t like MaizeNBrew who have Vox running their infrastructure
(not intended as a slight towards MnB)

We just have to go back to losing to OSU and the servers will be miraculously fixed. Until then, enjoy it!
November 27th, 2021 at 6:00 PM ^
I would also chip in, but I have just accepted the fact that it's never going to happen. Lol

I had to go to fucking 11 Warriors to read about the Michigan - Ohio State game when it was over.
Their site worked just fine. And you usually have the highest volume on a site after a loss because everybody wants to rant about it.
Meanwhile after our greatest win this century, MGoBlog was frozen solid.
If the Michigan football team can outperform Ohio State, then MGoBlog should be able to outperform freaking 11 Warriors.
