Issue: PC sometimes crashing?

[Nolafus]

Sometimes it seems that PC crashes at random times. For instance, it crashed yesterday, and today. Am I the only one experiencing this, or is PC crashing for other people as well. Does anyone know why it wasn't working? I have pretty bad internet, so I wasn't sure of it was just me.

It happens for everyone, so no need to worry and think that it is just you. PC has a pretty large userbase and always has a huge number of guests browsing which results in a lot of stress on the server and that causes it to crash quite frequently. The best thing to do when you experience this is to not refresh the page, but simply check back a few minutes later. Continually refreshing puts additional strain on the server and will take it even longer to get back up.

At certain times of the day, when PC reaches its peak for members, PC will occasionally crash. It's a common question in this forum, so next time, just scroll down some and you'll probably find the question you asked. Just for future reference. If you have any other questions, let me know and I'll try and help in any way that I can! (:

Like what Jelli and Gfx said, when the forum has loads of people on at once, the server gets stressed and the forum crashes. It's something you'll see time to time, but you'll get used to it over time. What I usually do to pass time is like, watch videos or hang on the Pokemon Showdown server. Also, like Jelli said don't try refreshing during a downtime as that can slow down the recovery, and don't think that you're the one causing the crashes. I once saw a thread like this a few days ago and I pretty much gave the same answer. It's not you causing the crashes, but rather the general traffic.
