Server too busy @ the moment please try again later..I get this usually 1/2 of the day..
The server admin need to make it so guests cant come in & read the forum make them sign up to read..!!!
for instance right now theres over 1200 people & only 17 members online..Like wtf is that about..
There isn't a really good Colorado board. ICmag and here are the best I've found. I don't give a shit about marijuana culture, bong design, etc., but I'm intensely committed to the politics of legalization in Colorado. Here is best for that, even though it is slow.
This is exactly the measure I had to implement on one of my discussion boards. When non-members are draining resources and not contributing actively to the site, it greatly raises operating costs and system resource usage.Quote:

In all honesty, putting this in the Colorado section when it's a technical issue does count as posting in the wrong forum section.Quote:

still waiting on a reply from an admin or moderator on what this site is going to do to fix the problem...it seems to be getting worse every day with the site being down so much....maybe it's time to switch servors to a site where they can handle the amount of traffic they have here.
The reason why the thread was moved to this forum is because it is better suited for this forum over any other. Plus it can be more recognizable to the site powers-that-be when posted here in the Feedback forum.Quote:

I understand your frustrations completely DB. You and the rest of the Colorado members are definitely not alone in experiencing the issues at hand. Its even frustrating for me (a non-resident of Colorado) to try to log on here, only to see "Busy Server", "Gateway Timeout", "504 Error" notices and the like. And yes it has been a daily thing for me as of late.Quote:

Unfortunately, the Moderators themselves are powerless to remedy the gremlins plaguing the site, as that responsibility rests on the shoulders of the site owners and Admins. Im pretty sure they are fully aware of the situation, as this had been a problem even before the forum took on its "new look". And Im sure they are currently working at it to remedy the problem once and for all. I guess all we can do at this point is to exhibit some patience in midst of our frustrations while all the gremlins are being ironed out.
As far as what steps are being taken to remedy the situation, your guess is probably as good as mine.
Why does the site continuously indicate the server's too busy?
It is such a good domain name I wonder if the owner thinks this site will always have huge numbers of visitors regardless of it's performance? If so I think he/she will eventually find out that's not the case.
So what's the deal? Why haven't you upgraded your equipment so your members don't keep wasting their time coming here to find it doesn't work?
Better copy this post to my clipboard because I'm assuming when I click Submit the stupid server will tell me to go to hell.
I totally understand where you are comming from on the mod 's not being able to control server etc....I run a major football board with 100,000 posters(major football team) and we are experiancing problems ourselves with all the teams being switched over to the nfl umbrella it has been rough going the last year or so but at least our admin is keeping us advised and notified what has been going on which it sounds like you guys are in the dark somewhat.Quote:

close it off to guests. the site is likely getting banged hard by BOTs.
