Server restart...?

[Krazzikk]

At 7:24 7/20/12 I went to make a post and it said the server was unavailable. After reloading 3 times I got it to work. Was it a server restart? Just curious thkx!

We've been having these problems lately - it's just a thing with Cloudflare and your browser not feeling like cooperating. I personally just keep on refreshing until it works, but you could clear your cache if you really wanted.

(I don't know how to so you'll have to ask Gav or the Googles)

I happened to me a couple of times but refreshing and restarting the internet connection solves the problems for me....

But, this time I switched to a different browser and this time it works, so maybe it has some problems with the internet connection or the Browsers....

Yeah I was on my other computer which only has internet explore....-_- I hate internet explore <|>-_-<|>

That's actually the worst thing to do whilst PC is down, since it puts more strain on the server. x3

But yeah, it's mainly due to server strain, and they're quite common so you'll get use to it for the mostpart. My spikes usually last around 5 minutes so I just usually search around the internet till it's back up. :3

No, not when it's really down. Psh I'm not that dumb

I refresh once and try to see if it's just an error or a real overload.

Actually, it is the worst thing to do if the site's really down. Like Curious. said, it adds strain to the server by adding to the workload of queries it has to sort through while it sorts itself out from a database crash. The more you refresh the page while the site's down, the longer you'll have to wait for PC to actually come up, otherwise it'll just crash again right away once Steve gets it back up and running from the other crash.

Okay, just to clarify, if it cloudflares during random intervals, I refresh it and check it once (or twice at most). That's it - one measly refresh shouldn't be that much of a problem for PC. The problems arise if you request it many many times (like ten or more).

Yes, well I hope PC can fix this problem soon. Maybe use a decent server -_-

If you want to help out by donating <insert fair amount of money> every month, then we probably can upgrade to a better server.
