AngelofDth Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I would really like to know what preparations you have for a lan of that size. It will need alot of power and some lil firehall might not be adequate for that kind of power strain. Also what will you be using for the network it will have to handle a good sized load. My research tells me that a lan event stresses out a network like 500 percent more than the average buisnness office load. A simple router will not do.

ParoxysM Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I dont doubt 15-20 switches being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekless Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Well, to tell you guys the truth, we have done large LAN parties before. Our LAN at the Hamburg Fairgrounds two years ago was at least 160 people. The event is being held at the WNY Event Center. Power is not an issue. Check out the pics under the Gallery section on the webpage. Network issues are being addressed as well.

ParoxysM Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Yeah, that was a problem. Imagine trying to actually play the game while less computer knowledgable folks are playing 500MB pr0n videos from each others computers across the network I brought my spare hdd (30G) and filled to capacity at night browsing computer - to - computer.

Nemesis Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hmmmm.. I wouldn't start bashing MassiveLAN till we see everything in action ourselves. I wouldn't be surprised to see that they have well enough in hand. If this is something that U know for a FACT not to be true, then your concerns/comments would be warranted. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending them, I'm just trying to bring everyone back around to the possibility that they have a good head on their shoulders. -- Nem :bob: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargasm Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Well My PC will be safe, as long as there's power to get things running. All of you should think about getting a little backup battery to bring with you just in case......of course, then none of us would know when the breaker tripped. Who's gonna notice something as unimportant as the lite going out? :popc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I'm surprised that U can even SEE such things anymore being as old as U are :rotfl: How miracles never cease to happen -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargasm Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Gee, Nem, I thought you were older than me, due to all the grey :doh: I could sell you some hair to cover it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 U're dreaming now my friend, U got me in the "years" category w/o any question whatsoever, but nice try though Besides, the wife likes my Salt & Pepper hair. Besides, I think B.Ob. is displaying more "grey" than me, if U can believe that!!! :rotfl: -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
