Getting "the server is too busy at the moment" when I want to access terb is really becoming annoying.

Thanks in advance.
 
Would deleting all posts in the lounge except for stuff last posted to up till 6 months ago help? The lounge is the least important of all information on Terb. If that is not enough then how about the buy and sell.

I think this problem started when a lot more members, started posting photos in there signatures

They make the pages load slower, but should not affect the server as the images are all hotlinked (hosted elsewhere)

A gift horse??? it is apparently a profitable business. If I was paying for advertising, I might be pretty pissed.

Why? The banners still come up even though you get the "Server too busy" message.

exactly

so...

long story short, dont look the gift horse in the mouth
 
It's not about the amount of people logged on to TERB, because it also happens at 6:30 am when there alot less people are accessing this site.

"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later". This has been happening for a couple of weeks now, and like you said all through the day regardless of the number of people here. I've lost several posts and threads because I get "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." after I click on submit reply. In fact, I lost two posts tonight.

Fred has ordered some new hardware which will hopefully alleviate the problem. Only downfall is, it takes time for it to arrive. Hopefully by the end of next week it will be in and installed.

Lets face the facts...TERB is just way to popular a Board and 100's of individuals trying to access the Board. I have found that early mornings and late nights never experieinced the problem with server, but during evening have been blanked-out

Yeah, that will do it, Doc Brown. ;)

The funny thing is while I was trying to read this thread (shortly after 10 AM) the damn "server too busy" message kept coming up. LOL

Frustrating as hell, though. The reality is that as popular as this board may be, if this really continued over time, then definitely a percentage of people would stop surfing to the site, or at least, using it a lot less. It may be free to the surfing public, but advertisers would or should be concerned, even if their banners continue to come up. Banner ads alone don't cut it on any site. It's well known that banner ads are a low percentage response ad form. It's the info exchanged in the threads that create the real "call to action" that makes it worthwhile for advertisers.

But, Fred is obviously aware of the problem, has ordered new hardware to address it, so let's give some time to work it out.
 
"This Member is Busy please try again later"

Once hardware arrives and installed it will all go away this is a good site and more and more people are joining which will make it better we just got to wait out the growing pains and it will be worth it in the end. the good thing is Fred was on it before anybody complained.

Reminds me of a joke:

Kid's brothers buy him a hooker for his 16th birthday. So it's the big day and his brothers give him all kinds of pointers on daty, digits, msog etc etc.

So after the deed is done he's got this big smile on his face.

Well about 3 weeks later he sees this rash on his lip....so he goes to the Doc.

Doc asks him what he's been up to recently.

He says he saw a hooker on his birthday.

Doc asks:

Did you use a condom? Yup
Did you do digits? Yup but I washed my hands after
Did you daty? Yup, but umm didn't wash right after.

Doc says, well, that's it then, just remember:

Don't lick a gift whore in the mouse!

:D
