Post by: jimbo on December 28, 2011, 07:50:31 PM: fyi I am experiencing the dreaded server too busy indication especially around the 10-11am est. I can view this site on the phone during that time but I am unable to access the site from the desktop. This is happening the past two days.

Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on December 28, 2011, 07:59:21 PM: I've noticed. And I have no idea what's going on. But my best guess is that because we share our Web space/MySQL database space on the same servers as some of our host's other customers, another customer has been doing something that takes up a lot of the server load at that time. Perhaps year-end reports or whatever. But whatever it is, hopefully they won't be doing it for much longer. And I can't really say too much because quite soon the forum will be doing something that will quite possibly take up a lot of the server load (so the other customers will be the ones wondering what's going on [santa_wink]). But more on that when the time comes...

However, I see that Josette was able to post while I was still unable to get through. [santa_undecided] Were others able to get through between about 10:30pm ET/7:30pm PT and 1:35am ET/10:35pm PT?

Post by: MagnusTrask on December 30, 2011, 02:06:58 PM: I've been able to take comfort from the announcement "Don't be surprised by anything you see here" (or similar words) a surprising number of times, over the years. It's like the Hitchhikers' Guide's "Don't Panic" or "This too shall pass" for me. And right now, I'm glad I don't know about all the computer stuff discussed above, or else I'd be worrying about it and trying to figure out why this or that problem is happening. Instead, I can just let it be...
