The Don Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I will accept my fiver refund via paypal, check or cash. What im getting annoyed about, is im looking through threads and non subscribed members have been posting while I and probably many others couldnt get back on here, as the times beside posts are when i was getting the server error message.

Ulysses Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Update We had planned for a difficult night, and our way of managing this was to withdraw service from guests first and then different groups of registered users. Unfortunately, the sheer pace at which people logged on to the board following the Webster rumours was faster than our efforts to limit access to registered users, and we went from having 2,000 online to over 4,000 in the space of a few minutes. Normally, blocking access to registered users and restarting the server will deal with this kind of problem in under 10 minutes, but regrettably when we restarted there was an error in the database, which took further time to investigate and repair. Service has been resumed, and as of now guests and registered users have restricted access. It is anticipated that access for registered users will be restored in the next 45 minutes. Guest access will remain restricted until at least 6:30 am. Members will recall that we had a significant upgrade in February 2010. However, the volume of traffic tonight was the largest ever encountered on the forum, and to give a sense of how large, we had more than twice the number of people online this evening as we had at the time of the Jim Jefferies signing. We have a further upgrade planned and we're discussing the timing with our server hosts. It is likely to take place over the next 4-5 days. Please also note that our server hosts have advised us that there will be temporary interruptions to service - not just for us, but for all their customers - on Tuesday afternoon between 2:30 pm and 5:30 pm. This can't be avoided, and is because the server hosts are carrying out network upgrades. We do apologise to everyone affected by the downtime on this night of heightened interest. Speaking personally, I did my best to manage a very difficult situation and prevent the loss of service, and I regret that this wasn't successful.

"Error In The Database" was the message I got when trying to log-on last night. No big deal, I went to bed and it looks like nobody died and nothing happened.
