Server too busy?? What's that about??

[Mikes95XLT]

I just tried to search for a thread, and it told me the server is too busy, and to try again later. Then when trying to post this topic, I got the same thing. So I finally was able to post about it.... Anyone else had this happen?????

It happens to me occasionally. Very frustrating

EDIT: Talk about irony. It happened to me the first time I tried to post this

Rick has been updating the site the last few days, it's normal for the server to spaz a bit during software updates.

When the server senses a high load from a lot of people posting or searching at once it limits new connections to keep things moving fast for the connections already in progress.

Last night it took a few minutes to allow new connections since I was optimizing the database which is a CPU intensive process.

That's pretty cool, I had never heard of that before
