View Full Version : PSU Servers Level up!
Hey guys,
If you happened to be browsing the site between 8-9pm GMT yesterday you may have spotted that the site went down for an hour. Well the reason for this was to enable us to do a major upgrade to the PlayStation Universe servers! :p
The result of this is that we estimate we’ve been able to add about 50% more performance to the site so this will mean no more slow down and lag as you browse and a much faster PSU browsing experience for everyone!
I’d like to extend a special thanks to the subscribers (http://www.psu.com/forums/showgroups.php); whom without their continued contributions (http://www.psu.com/forums/payments.php) none of this would have been possible and of course the 160,000+ members for continuing to post and help us bring new people to the site; which again helps us to continue developing this site.
We hope you enjoy the new faster PSU!
~ The PSU team
Yes the site runs smooth now.
Great work!

I'm am more then happy to have subscribed to this great forum.
2 things though,
1)can you give us subs our golden bar back please
2)please fix the bank.
thanks again for this awesome site. :DD
Don't like the golden bar like it the way it is now. It takes up to much space.
Do some prizes in the mix or something for all users over all continents if possible, like a monthly question, puzzle or something.
Good job PSU. The upgrade is very noticeable.

For security reasons I can't really disclose info about our hosting set-up. What I can say is that the hardware is much newer and their is a lot more memory on the database machine.

Understood, thanks for the info.
Not sure about the rest of you, but the last 24 hours have been annoying as hell. So slow that pages don't load and it's bombing big time. Images for PSU news not loading.
Have tried 3 different browsers and they are all bad. Forums are worse than before.
Not quite as bad as before I must say. But something weird/bad is happening again with this site.
Least I am not the only one.
I can't start a new thread as the forums time out and the same thing happens when I try to quote a post.
It was already fast enough for me!
Now its suck your face off acceleration!

PSU Images not loading we are aware of and we are about to fix this now.

Easy peasy.
All the other issues I was having seem now fine too :mrgreen:

Youre the man Seb. And don't ever let anybody tell you that youre not. lol
Great job PSU team.
I think, rather than you thanking the subscribers, it should be us thanking you.
Great job.
