Forum Slowness

[Grub (Lenlyvit)]

Hi everyone,

Over the last week or so the proboards forum has been slow. At least twice during this time the proboards people have taken the forums offline for 10 minutes stretches to try and get things back to normal again.

Just so you know, the proboards slowness has nothing to do with the amount of posts we have in here or anything like that in this forum. Proboards allows unlimited messages on the board, and the problems have to do with their servers and maybe the Internet viruses that are currently going around. For the time being we should all be patient.

If I get more info I'll post it in here.

Sincerely,
The United States of Grub

From the proboards FAQ's.

"Happy New Year everybody. With 2004 comes alot more Proboards members. Proboards is more popular than ever. This is great, however...

Many servers are busy right now. Some of you may be seeing the "Too Many Connections" message. Please just wait it out. If the servers didn't take a break they would crash so it is important that you wait the 30 seconds and then try again. Please don't keep re-clicking this only slows the servers down more.

I realize that for many of you this has been going on for a few weeks. We are doing our best to accomodate all the new members. In the near future more servers will be purchased as well as upgrades for some of the older servers."
