Stress test failed.
Anyone know what that means?
btw, there sure was a lot of stupid questions put forth.
The Q&A was a stress test of the system. There were too many questions, and the test failed. Overload.
IMO
Q opens up 8ch for Q&A. Q starts answering the most intriguing questions. This gets people excited and they flock to the site. This puts a huge load on the 8ch servers (and maybe others).
The goal, IMO, is to see how big a load they can handle.
I don’t necessarily believe ANY of the answers that Q gave. Including “stress test failed”. But who knows? I think Q will tell us eventually.
At the very least, Q got some idea of how many people will show up on a “big” day on 8ch. I believe that was also the reason for the steady drip of posts during the day. People tended to hang around because they didn’t want to miss anything. Then in the evening when many people were home from work and able to watch closely, the Q&A sucked as many as possible in.
My guess is they were gauging views and attacks. Hold a Q&A gather a lot of attention. Measure the response see if you got enough horsepower to handle the coming big show.
