Hi all,

I am posting this because of my concern that the Nov 5th mass donation will possibly crash ronpaul2008.com

We've seen the site go down after debates or near the end of deadlines.

I am worried that 15,000+ people all donating within an hour's time will crash the site.

What I am suggesting is that instead of donating within an hour's time, expand the window to 5 hours. This will distribute the load to the site better and still give us the result we want.

Anybody have an opinion on this?

Thanks

umm...we're donating all day. That is the plan - no specific time.

It is not an hour, it is 27 hours. Thanks for playing!

If it's going on all day, great. If not, then I am afraid there might be a problem.

Oh, that's usually only 25 or 30k. The main site is thisnovember5th.com.

The November 5th is not a money bomb. It's a separate event.
