Yeah me too. Not so much slow just have not been able to get on the last hour. Kept getting Database error.
Impossible! That's what paid membership was supposed to solve.
bwahaha..
the natives are restless.
but yes, I was locked out for around an hour... not good.
:behindsofa::scared::jaw::bolt:I haven't been on most of the evening to experience this, but I have forwarded this to the Mod forum to see if there is an explanation.
I sure hope it's something simple:face-icon-small-sho
I was about to post up the same thread. I really am not surprised though.:face-icon-small-sad
Are we really going to have to put with this s#$t again? Yes, I really want an answer.

Yea wtf is up?? Thought the money for memberships was going to the new high speed servers etc...
I sure hope this is not going to require another Snowest Stimulus package!

I think we all know who got "stimulated" by that package.
Please be patient......Then are testing the new software that will alow the folding tab advertisments on all 4 corners :crazy:
S
all 4 corners.LMAO
Last night our Database server was seeing a really high number of connections, more than it is capable of supporting.
As the evening went on and it hit its max limit, it would return the "Database Error" to people trying to connect.
But the more people tried to connect, the more connections failed.
This put that server into the classic "Death Spiral" where the load increases exponentially from everyone clicking on Refresh.
This happens from time to time and its easy for us to fix just as soon as we become aware of it.
BUT..
Last night something different happened after we resolved the connections issue. The Server had a full blown crash, which we have NOT seen in 9 months!
This caused us to have to do a full cold reboot on both servers, which took us offline for a good hour.
We will be making some changes this week to see if we can put the servers into a better position to prevent this from happening again.

Do the people that paid get priority in the connection pool?
It was very likely all tied back in to the problem we had a week ago last Sunday.
