Server too busy

At most, I've suffered this for about 10 minutes maximum. It was somewhat more frequent last night, but that was a one-off occasion. People using smileys in the chatroom also initiates more server usage, so perhaps using them less than what you already do is best.

It's not as if this'll last forever either. No use in leaving before it's had a chance to be resolved.

I think I'm a bit guilty there =/. I went a bit crazy with the Cookie Monster yesterday xD.

That's a question of whether or not DB has what is needed to go through with it. It's not as easy as just saying 'we need a new one.'
 
i know which is why we should think about it a shout box is just as good as a chat room just it doesn't cause the sever to get overran
 
Actually, the chat room has nothing to do with the server load at all. Yes, it may slow down the server just a little bit, however the whole problem here is the current server that we're on right now. Bear in mind that we're on a shared server where there are approximately 180 accounts on there which are being hosted on the same server as FFF is on, so 75% of which are resold accounts. And on the other hand, FFF is definitely growing a lot each day with 1,000+ of unique visitors and due to high traffic. There goes the reasons why it's causing the server slow as a turtle. The forum is already big as it is and I think it's finally the time to get our own server (VPS) for FFF, which is gonna be a bit costy.

Anyhow, we shouldn't be getting any of those errors anymore once we're on the new server, hopefully.

While that is great to hear, I have to say that the chat put a huuuge load on the server. Each piece of data has to be requested and sent for every member. That is going to kill the server.
Anyway, that's irrelevant now if there's going to be a new server. Thanks for resolving this

Indeed. Here's to hoping we do not see that message for a loooong time.
