Other commitments meant that I missed this, but great to see the record broken, recognise some familiar names, and feel the gca forum spirit alive and well.

Just a further follow up. There was a link to this topic in this one:

http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopi ... =1&t=19577

The link was posted there on Monday afternoon and checking the screen shots of who was online for the attempt, I see your name is there. So as mentioned above check the link to topic 19605 and see what C@W can do. Just go into your 'My Trophies' first though to see if the trophy comes up.

Well it makes me feel a little better that someone noticed me missing. :)
I really wanted that trophy and 100 points though. Haha

Please come back and use the forums more often - I miss the “old” days when we all met up. Facebook has it place but I miss chatting all over Oz.
Yes, I miss it too! So many people I haven't 'seen' in years!

Yep, miss the days when everyone was on here discussing all things caching.....

+1
So now people are re/introduced to the forums should we resurrect some old threads or start some new interesting geocaching related ones?

I was driving a bus at the specified time, and logging into websites while doing so is.. frowned upon!

Well, the server copes wqell with the load:
Heres' the webserver itself:

The CPU load bearly even registered:

Yellow is Free CPU, we used a massive ~0.6% of our CPU capacity

And RAM usage was not even noticable

This server is amazing, and provided we can maintain the hosting costs it may last for quite a few years.

The old server would have choked and died on all this.

It all looks good to me, but then I'm not a computer hardware person. If CR says the server coped well, that sounds great for the future of it.

Now, as for the hosting costs.....
