    "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."

    Happens all the time. I'm surprised that this is the first time you've experienced it. Somewhere...might be on a different forum...Adam gives an explanation for it. I don't remember exactly the reason, but it was something like the parent company allocates server space based on traffic to each of their sites. Since AR is one of the smaller sites, we get less server space.

    Don't forget too, there are a lot of forums here. I've been on the Speaker or HT forum when there have been 50 or 60 people lurking.

    Yes a lot of times the lurkers far out number the members. Neither members nor moderators receive any greater access than a lurker.

    Yes Adam explained it, the company that owns this also own a few other review sites. Since this site is one of the slowest, less priority is given via their servers.

    I get it all the time...

    I get it all the time...
    MtbREVIEW.com RoadbikeREVIEW.com OutdoorREVIEW.com
    PhotographyREVIEW.com VideogameREVIEW.com ComputingREVIEW.com
    AudioREVIEW.com CarREVIEW.com GolfREVIEW.com

    And all of these have forums. In the case of MTBR, over a hundred forums, I think.

    Busy, busy, busy.
