    Default Server busy message

    Some members may have been receiving a server busy message over the last few days. It would seem someone has been attempting to deliberately overload our server.

    Our host has taken some action and server levels are back to where they should be.

    If anyone receives a server busy message, please let us know.

    Thanks

    It would seem so.

    Basically, members should never receive the server busy message as our servers specs are way beyond what we use. So if you do see the message on screen, we need to know asap. I dont see it, as I cant be locked out as admin.

    Should it happen again and members cant contact us via the contact button (in the right bottom corner of the page) for any reason , shoot through an email to austechforums AT gmail.com so I can get support on to it. We pay for a managed server these days, so we have 24/7 support if there is a problem. This problem was fixed within 5 minutes of me reporting it.

    Thanks to Oceanboy for pointing it out to me today.

    Just had the server busy message for five minutes at ~9:15am; must crashrun hacking the forum & planting multiple birthday posts in general chat.

    Or could be that the server is busy with mods/admin deleting all the birthday posts.
    Cheers, Tiny
