The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
Just thought I'd let you guys know that I've been getting the
"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." message a lot tonight. Comes and goes every few minutes. |

I have dropped Chris a line about it but he seems to be busy away from internet access this evening unfortunately. I'm sure he'll look into it asap though. Please bear with us

I'm sure it has to do with the fact that the new F1 season is just around the corner.

The server is getting very excited! Probably a small point, but I don't think there were that many on line during the problem.
BTW it seems fine now! |

I am sure John Toad is responsible for this.

I think it was a spider program. Something was accessing quite a few of the member profiles (probably in an attempt to lift email addresses, to be used in spam lists), and the member profiles use a complicated search to find the last posts for that particular user. It looks like the repeated searching slowed the server down considerably.

Did it work? I did get 6 spam emails this morning - I was so pleased that people wanted to send me an email and it turned out to be fricking spam. I ought to sue someone for emotional distress.
