We've had to upgrade our hosting package. The slowdown was a result of reaching our bandwidth limit and also some faulty hardware which was resulting in packet loss. Things should be working much better now.

Think we hit 7639 users online at one point, anyone see it higher than that?

nope, I only saw it at like 68??. That shocked me. Impressive server here ioi. I'd love to know the specs.

Nothing too impressive.  It's just a dual CPU single core AMD 2.2 GHZ with 2GB of RAM.   It's all in how you tune it...

Outgoing bandwidth is the primary factor that runs out first...   (and is the most expensive to upgrade).
