    Server is too busy!!!

    ok I am not quite sure about this...

    the server has been listed as too busy several times tonight...

    There are currently 98 member(s) and 162 guest(s) on the boards.

    just curious what is going on...

    maybe I just need to register

    It's been doing that quite a bit. Maybe it's a sign we're spending too much time here.

      Funny.... I used to get these messages occasionally, but since buying PLUS I haven't....

      But then when I went to post this reply I got an error message first time around.

        I've not been getting that msg, but the database error one has been up a few times.

          It's the evil PLUS users using up all server resources.

            FWIW I am getting this now too. And refreshing forums is taking longer than usual (3-4 minutes).

                That's really funny.

                Looking at the active threads here it seems they mostly deal with whiney complaints about things that would not be happening to them if they only subscribed. It is the complainers who are sucking up all the bandwidth.

                Complaints about something where there is an easy PLUS solution should merit a -1.

                  I seriously think it's about time I deleted this bookmark. It'll free up bandwidth for those willing to pay for it.

                        It isn't like the server being busy is a new thing.
                        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                          Sure- it's been busy before. When there's been 500+ members and guests, that is.

                          Now it's "too busy" dealing with half that amount. If we can trust the "too busy" message when it says registered users are given priority, that means it's struggling with fewer than 100 registered users.

                          If these figures quoted by Paddy are accurate, you appear to be looking at a nose-dive in performance, hitting non-plus members hardest.

                            Mark has exempted PLUS members from certain load saving features, but he has not (and I very much doubt he ever will) given PLUS members access when others cannot. So I'm puzzled at the basis for the statement that recent problems have hit non PLUS members hardest.

                              Also I'd add that those not willing to contribute to help the site have the resources to run smoothly are in a bad position to complain when there are problems.
