It looks like my Civ3 files update caused the forum to crash. :( Too many people tried to visit the forum at the same time from the main page. :cry:

Oh well, it's good the forum is back now (after 2 hours downtime). :)
 
The explanation of some posters at Gamecatcher :
vBull is unreliable and that is the reason CFC is down sometimes. :crazyeye:
 
If only I could access Gamecatcher from work. For some reason, I can't get there. I could really increase my Postcount. Well, I have just been hanging out here and over at Soda's Neverwinter World Fora. When this was down, I just kept hitting the refresh button over at his site.

My explanation is just like bfl stated. It's not a matter of software, but a matter of database. PhpBB would have the same problem with the number of connections. Oh, and anyway, vbull is slightly faster than phpBB, not that anyone cares here, but it's kind of normal anyway since it's commercial software (just to let everyone know I'm not bashing vBull). But with a slightly slower phpbb, I have nothing to pay, so it's still better IMO. :)

Glad they could solve the problem that fast TF :)
 
*MOMMY!! Thunderfall broke the site again! :cry: *

Hmmm.... hmmm... maybe the lesson is that Civ 3 should be removed from the site?

LOL, yust yoking.

<<<putting my Floppa21 hat>>>

"I really meant that Civ 3 users should be banned. They probably need a good banning anyway. Besides, crashing the site is against Forum Rules."

:hammer:

<<<taking off my Floppa21 hat>>>

;)

:)
 
Fortunately I was online just before it crashed but I was too late to post my move in my game of chess with Lucky, so now we are another day behind...
 
@Starlifter

You need to wash your hair after wearing that Floppa hat. There's no telling where it's been!

And if you are scared of/repulsed by the Civ3ers, just stay away from those forums. Most of them don't venture into the other parts of the site.

On Topic:

First BFL frags GameCatcher, and now Thunderfall messes up CFC. I swear, so many people with delusions of adequacy... :p :D

(just kidding of course, please don't ban me... :eek: )
 
I asked Telefragged to increase the max number of connections allowed to the MySQL database. We should be seeing fewer of those "Too Many Connections" errors. :) They probably increased the number to 400 or something (it used to be 300).
