    Server is Busy? Or not? Am I being screwed?

    Take a look at this printscreen:

    Me, too, intermittently. Although my computer didn't circle it like that. What version of Windows are you running?

    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!

    I'm glad I didn't try to log on. I don't think I could have taken it.

    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....

    What on Earth is happening? I'm glad to know it wasn't just me, though.
    Some people are like slinkys. They serve no useful purpose, but it sure feels good when you push them down the stairs.

    It's been happening to me too.

    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 ?
