Hi all
The comet has been BIG news! It's really captured the public interest, and it's definitely been a boost for IceInSpace, both in membership and visitors.
The site has been extremely busy, especially during peak times (like last night, after everyone came inside from looking at the comet!!) with over 300 people online at one time.
We apologise for any delays experienced - the server copped a hammering. Terry and I are looking at upgrading the server (more RAM!) in the next few months so we'll be able to cope better with loads like this when the next big event comes
More near-earth comets please, Rob McNaught
Just to give you an idea - we've more than tripled the normal number of unique visitors in a given day! It's been huge!
to all the new members who signed up thanks to Comet McNaught! We hope you enjoy your visit at IceInSpace and find enough interesting stuff to keep you coming back regularly.
