Apolyton is better than Infogrames!

So, Markos, are you implying that no one ever got the same message on Apolyton?

not for a really long time, and not with 400 users

the official forums made a record yesterday, with 423 people online. our is 953

I know Markos. But what I was trying to point out was simply they have a new forum and it might take some time to get all the bugs worked out just like you have done with Apolyton. Which, by the way, I am very thankful for!

the infogrames forums are not new, just the moo ones.
at least one of their archives goes back to august 2000...

I agree with Markos, infogreed sucks.

If you don't mind my saying -- I think Infogrames is running a LOT of forums on the same "boxen". So yes, they're getting overloaded from time to time, but not on account of the MOO3 forum, or at least not mostly.

They have several thousand users across the forums at that website. [Edit: from the forums list page: Registered Members: 70,428]

Of course, I'm not too thrilled with a "too busy" response, either -- I'm getting one right now, in fact. They definitely need to up their capacity, whether the MOO3 forum is adding enough load to push it over the top, or *especially* if it would get swamped like this even beforehand.

yes. ok. true. our number is 20059. do you see 20000 different posters around here every day?
it's the amount of simultaneous users that really counts...

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

That's what I've been getting for 4 hours now over there.
If the Infogrames Forum is representative of their games.........

i think they moved from delphi on that server the forums of at least one more game. probably someone didnt thought if the server could handle the extra people

hi ,

okay , KPNQuest , one of the biggest providers in the world is chapter - 11 , as a result there lines are going down , the employees try to work for free , because it has major implications on the internet , but the curator does not agree , ......

the inframes server could suffer from it aswell , also KPNQ is one of the largest in the world when it comes to the renting of server space , and this shall go aswell , ...

in Europe they have about 35 % of all lines , and about 15 % of servers , ....

still with a server in the US you should (are you ?) okay , ...

have a nice day

[MarkG]

it's one thing to have a slow connection as it would the case if it was something related to KPNQuest and another in this case.

in this case it is an issue of the server not being able to handle all the requests, e.g. a hardware(cpu, ram) upgrade is needed

[Xentax]

It has nothing to do with the KPNQwest fiasco -- though if you're a user in Europe, you might be incidentally affected.

MarkG and the others are right -- for whatever reason, the Infogrames forum servers are getting significantly more load than they can handle.

I hope someone screwed the pooch when they moved MOO3 and possibly other games to the site recently -- I'd hate to think they were operating like this well in advance of the move. I say that because I certainly would have voiced opposition to the move (I found out about a month ahead of time as a moderator), if I'd known it had user-access problems even before it got a ton of new users.

hi ,

strange , is this problem with the general site or with a local infogrames site

have a nice day

[MarkG]

is this problem with the general site or with a local infogrames site

it seems to be a problem only with the specific infogrames community site

hi ,

Mark , ingrames like in www.us.infogrames.com or www.infogrames.com , there French one burnt out , actually the cooling did , like a lot of Oracle servers in the last couple of weeks , but it was supposed to be fixed .

also , there was this problem a couple weeks a go , then they lost something in the forums , (theirs) they sended a message around saying sorry , only a small amount was lost .

have a nice day
