The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

I've been having occasional problems when its not very busy at all but its only a major problem at night when it becomes a huge challenge just to read threads...

I'd say I just received it about 300 times just a few mins ago. I just kept hitting refresh and eventually i finally reached. This sucks

It seems to be that once you are logged-in, the problem goes away. Is that what everyone else is finding?

I am finding absolutely NO difference between being logged in and not(no really, no difference, either way you can't post )

It's coming up all the time.

Well TF just disabled avatars, maybe that will help

I am finding no correlation with being logged in or not.

Sometimes the system locks up for 4 or 5 minute stretches and then we come out of the fog and all seems normal.

Can we get a better status definition message on the incoming announcement as well as on the main site page until this porblem is actually remedied.

Also, is it possible to get a better definition of how the problem is related to the serve move of last Friday as well as the "maintenance" from Monday.

Traffic seems far below the levels seen earlier this year and yet I feel like I'm swimming through tapioca just to access the forum threads.

Cheers!

I've noticed the server seems to be running up and down hills. It works real hard till it reaches the top and stalls, then flies real fast until it starts climbing another hil and repeats the process, i noticed this all day long

This is something telefragged did, either they are hosting another site on our server or they moved us to a slower server, it was never like this before

 

[Thunderfall]

The best thing to do when you get those server busy messages is to try again at a later time, maybe after 15 minutes. Refreshing the page 300 times won't help...

 

[joespaniel]

Thats when I go to Gamecatcher...

 

[Dell19]

Thats not exactly the best solution for most members, especially those involved in the demo games.

I've had these messages all week as well, but it seems to be alot better now without Avatars. Although its hard to tell untill I go on tonight when everyone's logging on...

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

It seems to get worse and worse.

We have had heavier trafic and not had this problem, Tellafragged needs to do something to correct whatever it was they screwed up.

 

[spycatcher34]

I think poor ol telefragged is doing the best they can... I know this is their biggest site... bigger than their own... I'm a bit suprised they are still hosting us. :/

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Hmm...I have only gotten 4 errors today(3 were while refreshing repeatedly).

It's a little bit better

 

[mordhiem]

Wow, and all this time I though that I was the only one...

TF, can't you make it so that if there are too many connections you shutout the guests first, before you block any of the members? I have been getting this problem a lot recently, but then I look at the who's logged in list and ther are always at least 20 guest, sometimes more! Can't we boot them off first and keep the loyal posters in?

 

[Dell19]

They may on the site but the guests may not actually be loading many new pages so booting them off may not chage much.

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

There is something wrong, I had all kinds of problems yesterday and there were only 136 people logged in here, nowhere near the "crash" threshold of 250, yet it was slow and out, back and forth.

 

[WillJ]

I think I barely have gotten any too busy messages since TF removed the avatars. [EDIT]: Never mind... I've gotten dozens of too busy messages today. [/EDIT] BTW, aren't we supposed to get more RAM added to the server this weekend, and then the search and avatars will come back, and hopefully the sever will be more accessable?

TF, the citizens of CFC are rioting because of over-population! You must raise the luxury tax rates!
