Is it just me? or is the forum server busy?

It was not. I checked. For a minute I was afraid you all banned me, hehe

Welcome back!

What happened?

Been getting a lot of this today from the mersenneforum.org server.

Code:

The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

When my crappy slow internet lets anything through, that is. Come on, fiber! Maybe by yearend.

Same for me, very unusual:

When the (shared) server that the forum is hosted on exceeds a load average of 32, the forum software is configured to shut down.

This shouldn't happen very often.

I've been getting a lot of that recently. I wondered if it was swarms of bots visiting...

Nothing here in U.K. so I suppose PM is doing a good job.

Oh wait.I was taking 'PM' to mean 'The PM'. In light of her current difficulties, I found ironic humor in the perceived non-sequitur.

What does PM mean in this context?

I've seen it from time to time over the past couple months, too.

A high load average isn't bad if there are lots of CPUs in the system.

Same here.

It won't be a function of where you're located; it's a server-side issue. When it's happening, everyone will experience it.

Mike /might/ want to bring this issue up with the provider. If it isn't a DoS against the forum, another client on the same machine is impacting him.
