March Madness. What a wonderful time of the year. Money changes hands quicker than you can say Kansas State. Brackets are filled out and fretful students glance over them hoping to succeed in all of their picks. It was these fretful Menlo students that crashed the Moodle server on Monday March 21, 2011. This happened because Menlo students, feverish to stream live videos of March Madness games, clogged up the system with to much data being routed to one server. The week of videos and constant checking of brackets was a “New data bandwidth high for us” said Eric DeStefano in an informatory email to the whole school. He promises that this will not happen again, so March Madness fans, you will still be able to watch videos of your favorite teams in peace.
