Forum server is struggling - query for Frictional/forum admin

[Ossie]

Have noticed extreme slowness on the forum at times today and just had the following message:

The maximum server load limit has been reached. Please check back later once the server is less busy.

I can only imagine that this will get a lot worse during this week - do Frictional have any plans to ensure that the server will be able to cope with the extra load?

I was unable to reach the website (even frictionalgames.com) 10 minutes ago.. Other than that i haven't noticed any problems..

Server will get a performance bump during the day, to better deal with the expected increase of visitors tomorrow. There will be a bit of downtime when the change takes place.

Expanding Bandwidth, right?

This must not be a problem because these stuff can fixable very easy.

Excellent - downtime has just happened so I guess that was it.
