I've been having a hard time getting on the site (it keeps saying the server is busy). Is it because there's been a lot more traffic after 3fc was in the Times?

*edit* Mods- do you anticipate having a problem with overloaded servers or is this maybe temporary?

yeah, that's what I figured too. It's annoying!

I'm happy to meet new people, but I worry about not being able to get onto the site.

I think it's the news article because I'm getting the 'server busy' message which I haven't got since I joined in October. I'm glad to see so many people finding out about this gold mine, but of course I always want to get on myself! lol

Other then the scary crash of 2008 this is the worst it's been. I joined April 2008 and never got the server busy error! Yea for new people, boo to those just reading and not posting

No, I've never seen it do that before either. I just hope it doesn't continue.

We had a problem earlier and it also happened last night for a short while. It's due to the increase in traffic and server load. It's a pretty rare occurrence, and hopefully won't happen again
