(not a troll)
What is the deal with the forum saying it is too busy? We have less people then we've had at other times? Do we have less server capacity then we used to? Is the code corrupted? Or more bloated?

well, I imagine that 150 people downloading patches would cause more load than 300 people loading the About section. so forum users (which only counts people on the forums anyways right?) isn't an accurate indicator of load.

Yeah...it is pretty bad today, isn't it?

DanQ said a couple of months ago, that it is not as simple as how many users are logged in at a certain time. There are other factors as well.

What those are.....who knows?

somehow I knew AH would post in this thread

what's scary is I was going to say the same thing, but decided to blame the problem on lurkers.

I've seen plenty of DL dances around, but to accuse a King of being one is far beyond anything normal.

Maybe it was just an unfortunate coincidence, like you happened to log on when DrSpike and Hydey were spamming posting away?

I remember when I once installed that crappy program, Netsonic or something like that, and I had to manually reload every friggin' site just to make sure I got the most recent page... F5 was my best friend then...
