    It run's on one of the best search engines around.

    Take a look around - the question has been asked many, many times. In short, the information is confidential - rumor has it, it's just a bunch of xBox's.

    Don't forget about the serious intake of energy drink with a splash of coffee.

    xBox's? Crap - I thought I heard it was running on modified Commador 64 that they stole from a charity garage sale. And all backups are done an old tape drive that has been specially re-configured with the use of high tech duc tape and bubblegum, specially heated to a solar crisp crunchiness.

    I do look around. As a matter of fact, I searched WHT for this and came up with a bunch of unrelevant garbledy gook.

    Maybe I'm on edge today, but the "search the forums" answer only works if there is a decent search function and if the question has actually been answered.

    Why in the world would it be confidential what server WHT is running on?

    This question comes up quite a bit, enough that it deserved a knowledge base entry:
    http://www.webhostingtalk.com/helpde...eral%3C%2Fa%3E

    We receive numerous threats against WHT and other iNET communities. At one time we published our exact cluster details, and we saw that information used against us on occasion.

    I can tell you that all of our servers run the Linux operating system, and run Apache and MySQL.

    We have a clustered solution multiple public facing nodes. RackSpace provides our servers and network connectivity.

    What does WHT run on?
    WHT is run by hamsters, which are fed by ProSlacker on an hourly basis.

    Ever notice those connection issues from you to WHT? This is because ProSlacker is adjusting the diet to these hamsters. Sometimes it works, sometimes, well, the hamsters just get too tired.

    The hamsters are really to blame for the "90 second" post rule, the "your post is too short" rule, the "1 week/5 posts for advertisement forums" rule, and many more.

    Ever notice that your post is "missing"? It was commonly thought, before, that the "moderators" were the ones moving things around. In fact, this is not the case. This is what happens when ProSlacker forgets to FEED said hamsters. Hey, even hamsters have to eat, don't they?

    Have you ever noticed that on the 1st of April, things get a little "wacky" around here? One day a year, the hamsters are let out of their cages and given full reign of WHT. This, coincidentally is done on the first of April.

    Please, don't forget to feed and water your neighborhood hamster. Otherwise, you could have something as messy as WHT!

    Hey we aren't messy! We work completely with the local 542nd Hamster Guild on all issues and abide by all union rules. Otherwise, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Hamster Administration) would shut us down!

    No, no, no. The squirrels just couldn't generate enough power to keep WHT going. I mean, have you EVER seen a squirrel run on a wheel? Come on now, how are they supposed to keep the juices of WHT flowing without the wheel?

    So next time WHT is down, we can blame Sirius for eating the hamsters.




    Alex

    On a side note, I don't think hamsters would be very tasty .

    Since then, the board is now on a cluster of xBox 360s tied to the device that handles the hamsters.

    I'm Kim and I approve this message.
