You should see what he has in the garage:

how long will that UPS power the servers for in the event of a cut?   

2 30kva ups's about 15 mins, but also have backup generator.

Sweet. Active UPS and then generator   - will definitely help with power bumps and safely shutdown the equipment if needed. Definitely a proper setup.

Do you allow Pyro to bring his pupper to work?

It is those pesky brownouts that mess up so many electronics. I'd say that is covered very well.

If Hitech is smart he put the server in the closet at his house so when Skuzzy visits the office...

It has it's own room there.

Addressing the elephant in the room (ptp) but I find this news very heartening. Who invests in their game like this if it's 'dying?' AH is alive and well and I anticipate it will be better than ever.

(If you build [and maintain] it, they will come.)

Investing?    He put it in Skuzzy’s closet and told him he’s responsible for keeping the power plugged in.   And he pays for the electric bill, too, for the privilege.   


JK.  It’s fun to razz Skuzzy after all.

Hopefully small enough to keep “you know who” from walking around and kicking the power cable.

the game is dying, the game is dying, been hearing that since i joined 12 years ago.  if hitech ever lets this game die, there's gonna be a couple of hundred players with pitchforks and torches at his door.  j/k.  if this game ever dies, I'll die with it.

But the game IS dying. Itys a slow lingering death, but it is dying. Last year in June a player making one run in a buff and dying ranked for the month at 1023. Last month the same players doing one run in a buff and dying ranked at 847. That means there are less than 176 players tied for that "last" place in the category, which means we have lost on an average about 14 players a month.

I dont know what the number of players needed to keep the game viable but if it is 700, we may hit that next year. 500 maybe 2 years unless something is done.

I certainly hope something is done, or at least "tried".

I love that Hitech has added the server setup that he has, but is it new, or did he just move it to his closet at home so he can close his office to cut over head?
