| Good thing Cornflower wasn't with us that week, earlier in the year, when Fencing.net was down for four (or was it more?) days! She might have fissioned spontaneously at that disturbance!
We could "feel" members pacing over that one! | |

Just so you know cornflower, I have no way of knowing whether or not you're getting screwed. | |

| I got the message too. It got better ("turned me into a newt! I got better...") My guess is that part of the board system was down, refused to accept connections, and that message was the result, as that could also happen from excessive load. Or maybe there were that many people online....

| It's 1:30 a.m. where I am, there are ten people on the board, and I am getting the message, too. I don't think it's because of any overload of the system... | |

| this is the main reason the server goes down.
useless posts. by obsessive-compulsive teenagers who think that
every problem they have can be answered by a stranger on the
other end of the line.
do you really need to post if you encountered a "server down" error ?
i really like this site, but for some reason, i waste some minutes reading
some useless posts.
What part of the "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again
later. " message don't you understand ? | |
