• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Every few minutes i get an message
"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
Then i`m kicked off the Site and can try nearly 5minutes
to enter your Site again.
Something`s wrong with your server?

Not on this side (the Netherlands). I sometimes get the message when it takes too long to load a page.

Cheers,

A couple of other members were seeing that message as well while the whole time I was on with no problem. My gut feeling is it was the server fending off a Denial of Service attack.

Ickie has scripts in place to combat those types of attacks.
 
This is quickly becoming a comedy of errors. After I posted the last reply, I got a message that the site was down for maintenance. 3 hours later I get a message saying that "it too busy, try later", I finally get back in and post a message on this thread, hit "submit reply" and I get an error message again saying it's too busy. . .WHAT? Another 30 minutes and I'm finally back in. . .for now.
 
I have been getting it all morning...I'd say in the last 3 hours I have been able to see the forum for 20 minutes.
 
. . . .and I'm back again after the site being down again for what the message says was "Routine Maintenance for several hours."
 
You may wish to wait a bit longer till we know if the server is stable or if Ickie needs to bring it down again..
Thanks
Pam
