Why everyday around 9pm GMT it always returns me a message like "server busy please try later". Very annoying bug. Or too much people lowering their productivity at work?

Yup, happens pretty often - too many people trying to log on, I suppose.
IIRC, TF has said that this will be fixed in the near future when the upgrade is complete. Whatever upgrade it's going to be be; I can't remember...

Ghengis is right, it always comes at that time, I have no idea why.

That's not a problem. You go back and your text is still there in the box. The real pain is that you're blocked for a while before being able to access again. That's really annoying.

yeah I know. It's pretty annoying to see the server busy message at around 4 PM EST. 
I set it to show a server busy message to prevent more people logging in and crash the server, when the server is sufficiently busy. Usually users already browsing the board are not affected.

The same thing has been happening to me - I PM'd TF about it once. I don't recall that it was limited to 9pm GMT though.... I've had this problem pretty much any time of the day.
EDIT: oh, hi Thunderfall. Looks like I posted at the same time

This is what the control panel says for that feature:
"This allows vBulletin to determine the load on the server and processor, and to turn away further users if the load becomes too high. "

I believe that was right after a patch release. And around christmas IIRC, where plenty of people were given the greatest gift

Um, not always - it occurs to me 4 PM PST for me. And it happens to me while going through e-mail notification - annoying, annoying, annoying. I was thinking about starting a thread like that but found this one fortunantely.

Same here. Seems to see that page a lot more frequently over the past few weeks. Never seen it prior to this...

It's because I enabled that feature only recently. In the past the forum didn't give the server busy message no matter how busy it was.

So if you didn't enable it the thing would crash more often? Before I got the lousy server busy message, sometimes the forums would "crash" - only an assumption - and I couldn't get in the boards for an hour or so. So this thing is preventing it? Cool and go thunderfall!
