Default Can't Connect?

Hi Guys,

Lately i have being noticing...

Periods when this place gets a bit on the slow side.

Seem to be getting a fair few of "Can't Connect, Too Many Connections"...

Is it just me, or is this place getting too big for its current home????

Cheers

The current server and setup is more than adequate for our current setup so it isn't that.
I have been online a bit the last few days and have had no problems whatsoever.

Yeah, I agree here Tibbo. It starts around 5-ish for me (Dial-up and broadband) and lasts for about an hour.

I was gonna bring this up a little while ago to see if anyone had this slow time and that it wasn't just me.

Guys,

don't know who else had it, but just now AFF got VERY slow.

Just before 5 very slow to open threads etc etc, then at 5pm. I get the following:

I can't connect. Too many connections.

3 mins later, its all ok.

What's causing this?

Cheers

I got it too... unfortunately it meant I couldn't do much. It's most likely something to do with the server than vbulletin.

The site has been pretty slow for me tonight. Every time I try to post a reply to a thread, it takes 5 minutes or so, and still never brings me back to the thread.
Hence my double post in the Paintball thread.

Maybe the site just doesn't like me tonight.

Hehehe, probably also calls the car hole a "Garage" too. :hihi:

Back on topic, has anybody experienced any problems since it was fixed? I know I havn't, so it seems fixed so far, good job!
