Yeah, it´s the server. We have a problem sometimes that the databases get an overload (too many requests at once) and they hang, so the site hangs too. It usually fixes itself after a couple of minutes. There´s really not much we can do about it right now, sorry. Edited by - Eraser on 2/5/2005 12:45:41 AM
Server Problems

Thanks for the heads up Eraser<img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

May be database-related? For the last 12ish hours I wasn´t even able to access TLR from pretty well anywhere, not my uni dialup or my home broadband. I´ve just been able to get back on now from a uni computer at the uni. Any info? (Sorry for the gravedigging but it seemed to be related and I was in this forum to see if anyone else had noticed this problem)

A problem with the new hard drive at boot up. It was fixed, I believe.

Probably got continuously locked by the traffic increase caused by that PC Gamer article- I and everybody else I keep in touch with via email have been affected, too <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

What PC Gamer article? Linky? The server outage is part of our growing pains, we deeply regret any withdraw symptoms that it may have caused <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Better to work out the kinks during this downtime in new site content rather than when any new games may be coming out and the server chokes. We´ve got very skills technicians working on the issues.

Do a search for Fergus... it´s in the News here for the 14th (last update). I dunno whether that means that the US version of ´Gamer will also have that article, but I would guess so. Needless to say, as a properly self-conscious modder, I´ll have to buy it and make sure they´re not saying too many naughty things about me <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Erm, Argh - is it not possible to provide a link? I had a quick look, but couldn´t find anything related to anything <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I think what Argh might be saying is that there was an article in pc-gaming refering to TLR and because of that TLR got extra traffic.
