Well, Deadmau5 broke our servers

Did you guys catch this from earlier today?

Here's the link to the original Tweet. We use this software called New Relic which helps us monitor the health and performance of the site. It sends out alerts when something is out of the ordinary, and suddenly it started going bananas. Sure enough, Mr. Joel Zimmerman sent a whole lot of traffic our way and temporarily took the site down. Good problem to have I guess :)

Some major parts of the site were built with his music in the background, so it's an honor for sure! He was actually one of the first pro artist pages we added to the site, back in the day when it was just a handful of us manually adding every single submission.

Deadmau5 has a history of really making his feelings known when he doesn't like something, so we're VERY glad Equipboard landed on his good side!

Thought you guys would dig this, particularly the mau5 fans :)

WHAAAAAAAAT?! Well deserved fame!

congrats, high class problem... no how do you capitalize on it without compromising your integrity?

I saw that! SO badass. Well deserved praise, keep the features/improvements coming. Honestly not surprised the mau5 thinks its so cool, this is a gear geek paradise.

It would be awesome to make him his own personal artist account and allow him to update his gear himself. We could remove all the stops so that what he posts on his board is taken immediately.

Maybe we can do an interview or gear run with him and post the video to the site sometime.

agreed... contact the mofo!
