Who's getting this kind of error message from the forums currently, and how often? We've been forced to do a few things to cut down the stress our site puts on this shared server we're currently on, and implimenting a feature to temp. put a halt to traffic when the stress levels get too high is one of these. I'm a bit afraid that some people are seeing the messages far too often however.

So....if you get the message, post here as soon as you're not getting it anymore please. If you can, posting when and for how long you were getting the message would be very helpful too. If we can build up a log of these things, track when it's happening, we might be able to somehow track down exactly what the hell it is that's been causing all these problems.
 
"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
phew, I just got it!
Luckily it only lasted few minutes.
 
Me aswell, and during the time when I was trying to find out about the new Opening.

But haven't got it yet this morning.
 
Yes, I usually get it a lot around late night/early morning UK time. So around 11pm - 3am which just goes to show my sleeping habits, ey? XD It's been coming up for me for at least the last two weeks and it tends to last a while for me too, some nights I found it hard to even get on here as I constantly got the message during that time period.
 
I get it all the time. I can't remember when it started, though. Usually, after a while it lets me in.
 
I just got it a couple of times last night. They only lasted for a few minutes or so. None this morning so far.

While I was asleep by 3am, it was there almost non-stop when I was around last night which I found very annoying.
 
I got it in the afternoon while I was at school yesterday. I kept refreshing and eventually gave up.
 
Damnit.

Alright, I'm removing it. It's obviously more of an issue than I had realised. (You know, you guys could have spoken up about it rather than me having to prod you all about it to figure it out) This could be problematic with our hosting though, if I haven't managed to fix the problems that were causing our huge load, whatever the hell they were.
 
And I already spoke up about and I thought you removed it then. 0_o

When it happens, we weren't able to talk about it.
 
I get it a lot of times! And yesterday I even visited the forums, because of that.
