Server busy seems to be an ongoing issue. Hope someone figures it out.
TWC had a similar problem a year or two ago. It persisted for a very short time. Know why? Because they realized what was wrong - there wasn't enough money to deal with the problem - and fixed it by asking for donations. The goal was reached in 1-3 weeks, and now we have a fancy new server that works. I'm sure it'll be even faster on here because there are more active members.
Money is not the problem. We are trying to diagnose what it is. At this stage, it is NOT a server downtime issue. It may be a server load issue, but that is not confirmed.TWC had a similar problem a year or two ago. It persisted for a very short time. Know why?

Oh, well, that's good. Perhaps it could be solved by simply getting more bandwidth or what have you, because it seems to be an error caused by too much traffic.
But how does that explain the downage in the mornings (EST) after the biweekly backups happen? As our friends around the international dateline and some night owls in North America have noted. Normally the "Server is too busy" that happens during a normal backup routine lasts about 30 minutes (And I don't count those in my x day(s) since the Server was too busy since I consider it a normal forum maintenance function)
Yeah, even downforeveryoneorjustme is getting confused each time the forums hits a slow snag.Not down, but slow.
Not down, but slow.
This...Okay, does anyone know what that was about and how can we prevent it from happening again?
