Wiki and Forums Being Down

It has been brought up at the forums that the sites seems to be down quite a bit lateley, mostly during the hours of 2 to 4 pm central time for me(sometimes longer sometimes less). I have read before where this was a problem from increased traffic to the server at those times, I think it was stated about Sundays when I read it initially. I was wondering if this is the case now and if so, is there anything that can be done to help the situation. Not trying to be a pain, just that the forums are doing well and I wouldn't like to see people leave because of the lack of access at certain times. Bear 24.220.136.136 12:50, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Yep, it's been a problem since Monday and has been getting gradually worse. Basically, a glitch was triggered last Sunday night that has decreased the amount of traffic that the server can handle. Fixing it requires Daveh's intervention, and I've informed him about the situation (just a couple of hours ago). Unfortunately, he's on vacation right now in some part of the world that doesn't even have cell-phone access, so I have no idea when he'll be able to do anything. In the meantime, the site will be basically inaccessible whenever the site gets too much traffic. Unfortunately, that means there are likely to be some pretty prolonged outages over this weekend :| There's not really too much anyone else can do, other than avoid using the site when it gets overloaded. --Nephele^Talk 13:47, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

Thanks for the info and update, I'll pass it along. Bear24.230.188.173 00:16, 14 July 2007 (EDT)
