Server Trouble?

Harry Seldon · June 9, 2003, 15:03

Did you post a comment?

alva · June 9, 2003, 15:39

I think the title says all

Nikolai · June 9, 2003, 16:13

I don't understand your question in the post, Harry, but to answer the title: There is something wrong.

I have problems using the forums for the time being, since I just get errors and looooong loading times now.

Might be a sign telling me to go to bed!

I kept lose my post, Oh this is annoying! Now it looks like it is fixed finally.

Looks like it is still slow. But let's hope this post doesn't get lost.

Edit: sorry for the double post.

That figures

Is Poly outgrowing Settler II already, or is this just an outrageously high volume day, or is the entire Internet slow today

(my porno sites were significantly slower than usual), or is Settler II having problems?

besides for post eating, I haven't gotten a new message alert in say... four days

What's up with that?

I think the influx of Rise of Nations traffic is causing problems. Things should calm down in a week or two - we always have server trouble whenever one of the titles 'poly covers is released.

Skanky Burns · June 9, 2003, 18:38

I think there is more widespread trouble on the net, a vast number of sites are down or slow and have been that way for a few days.

The net is dying!

On the bright side, at least that means Poly might be ok.

Its been d...r...a...g...g...i...n...g for me the whole day from about tea time onwards, I keep getting the surver is too busy message as well. I'm just on the edge of doning something else with my time, but...... well, you know

the simple solution is to ban all of the Civ3 people, that should lower the load signifcantly

FrustratedPoet · June 9, 2003, 18:55

The Civ2 crowd have been around here long enough, maybe it's about time they stepped aside and let the younger generation take charge?

hi ,

no problem with any other sites so far , and poly is getting back to normal as we speak , ....

have a nice day

Jamski · June 9, 2003, 19:00

Get rid of the Cive 3 AND the Civ 2 crowd. Keep only SMAC, Civ1 and MoM

Rasbelin · June 9, 2003, 19:09

Why not simply keep the off-topic and dump the rest?

HT,

excellent idea.

Harry Seldon · June 9, 2003, 19:29

How about if we dump everything but the Dinosaurs forum?

I agree, just compare the sizes of the two MP groups. Civ2's is larger, despite being the older game.

What do you say, Ming?

mrmitchell · June 9, 2003, 21:14

Actually, note how much of the load comes from the OTF

Skanky, I think that might be so (the net as a whole having problems.) I've gotten "Server too busy" messages on sites that I never knew they even had the messages.

DrSpike · June 10, 2003, 07:02

Glad to see others are having problems as well...........hopefully Mark will fix it soon.

Sadist.

DrSpike · June 10, 2003, 07:55

My gf asked me when I wrote that post why I want others to have problems as well.

Of course I meant that me having an isolated problem is worse than everyone encountering a problem. But in FP's case..................

Skanky Burns · June 10, 2003, 08:19

Yeah, it just brightens my day when I know FP can't post on Poly.

On a related note, Poly has had over 1850 active posters in the last month, so Settler2 is under a heavy load.

Cookie Monster · June 10, 2003, 08:25

For the past few days I've experienced sloooooooow load times. I have access to two different T1 lines and dialup and all are slow.

Nikolai · June 10, 2003, 08:26

1850 of what...33.000 or something?

Wow, I hope that the other won't suddenly come here too...
