Got the meassge a couple of times before I was able to log on - Pleased it has not cost me personally as I have been out since 11 and was unable to check on Pies late changes to see if Caff came in. (using VC loophole for first time).

yep as expected totally flowering useless and completely over it.

prepare FF to lose a lot of forum members, simply cannot expect anyone to bother with this and the complete lack of any apparant regard  for the forum members voicing concerns is now insulting

hope the live scores are worth losing the forums because if this keeps up there is no forum.

[Ziplock]

haha, they actually are :P

the live scores are the majority of montys traffic for the on season :P

IMO the most annoying thing about all of this, is not ONE reply from m0nty re addressing this.

Yeah, it is really poor not commenting in this.

In his defence, he's probably having connection problems ;)

OK cool well no one will be upset when all the forum members get over it and leave.

Monty has his priorities I understand that, he could just come on and say what you just said and no problem, fair enough we'll find somewhere else to use as a forum on and off season.

@ LaHug - it only happens during games, it is not connection problems it is server capacity problems. Due to what he is running for his live scores, or the traffic he is getting for his live scores and chat run on the same website.

Yeah, I know. I was simply making a joke that he was probably getting the same Connection Problems message as the rest of us.

It is, however, complete bullshower and I'm sick of it. Happened lots last year as well.

That's cool. I know all about how sports can affect your emotions. I'm practically a little blubbering baby after all the Kobe injury news :'(

I am sorry all, this is the first time I have seen this thread.

To be honest, I don't check the forums on weekends and I have always assumed that you guys didn't much either, because the focus of the site naturally turns to the live score pages and live chat... or so I thought. It appears that you have made the forums so popular that it is overloading the site when games are on. I never designed the site to have an active forum while games are on. This is one of those things which I was not expecting, but of course I have to deal with now.

The solution, obviously, is to move the forums to a separate server so it doesn't interfere with the normal running of other parts of the site. This will be an extra cost for me, but it will be worth it and I apologise for not having moved to do it sooner.

I will work on getting that set up this week. Hopefully it will be up and running for next weekend's game. Again, I apologise for not getting on top of this earlier.

Cheers Monty, great to see we are getting something done here. Perhaps you should check in on this board a little more ;)
