Problems with the site, attention please.

[audio_dude]

Hi guys, lately for some reason, almost every time i switch pages on the site, a "server is too busy at the moment, try again later" message appears.

I don't know whats up, but please give this some urgent attention, it is making the site almost unusable, (I had to refresh 6 times just to get to this page)

Thanks for reading, post a reply if this is happening to you too.

I have that too sometimes,
it means that there are too many people on this site, so the server can't keep up anymore,

you can't do alot about it, but when possible, you can always try to come online on different hours...


Rock on,
Bert.

At least it doesn't say, "too busy to talk right now, please leave a msg." Or, "Talk to the hand buddy." Then a pic of someone's palm.

At the hour of the night that I usually log in, I don't get that problem.

And I'm not having it now, neither.

It seems to be most of a problem when non-members are just visiting... there should be some restriction to the amount of guest that can be on at a time...

Rude lurkers! And bots! Oh! My!

I think they represent the cash flow that keeps this place up and running.
More hits = more advertisers = more $ = fun site for us all to play on.

Dear Lurkers,

Welcome to AR. Please keep reading.
Don't be afraid to say hi though. We don't bite.
Well, I don't bite.
Errr.... I don't bite hard.

Yeah, we like lurkers...especially the one time lurker who never retursn, they become stats which misrepresent the true popularity of the site.

Not much you can do about the server being busy - actually that's a good sign - means AR.com still isn't totally irrelevant - maybe if it gets too busy, too often, they'll get a bigger, fancier server?

Man, this is happening A LOT now.

Hey Eric, what's the dealeeo?

[basite]

I do get an other error sometimes, the "there seems to be a problem with our database" error
very annoying...

*Hi lurker, I won't bite too!!*

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

I think it's the new server he purchased. I noticed it during lunch sometimes, so I dont even bother no more.

[audio_dude]

yeah, seems to be all fixed now... haven't gotten the error in a long while
