    Meh...I get that message quite commonly...Normally i just try to come back on by hitting enter again it normally works. But this time...it didn't...
     
    I Know...how long was it down? That was at least Half an hour.
     
    Would there be a chance of a Mod answering our query please?
     
    The server just died for a bit, nothing special.
     
    OK thanks koroku for informing us...nothing to serious...
     
    It been happening alot and I believe this question was just asked not to long ago. These people summed it up ok on the other tread when this as asked about.

    It's a malicious DDOS attack from what we've been told. We're taking care of it.

    It's usually because the database sometimes slows down because there's too many people. But otherwise, it's just a minor inconvenience.

    It either one of those so just don't worry about it. Just keep trying and it will appear up sooner or later.
     
    yeah servers go down sometimes so it isn't that big of a deal but it was down for a long time
     
    Yeah same, server's probably. I couldn't do anything, I just got stuck when I logged in. :D
     
    Well, this one's had fits for a long time now. As I stated before, we're fighting off a hack attack, so this may have just been a result.
     
    yeah not too big of a deal.. just too many requests at once and it overwealms the server.. usually it recovers fairly quickly all by itself if the requests stop.. sometimes i have to manually restart it.. (not too often, though)

    only way around it right now is moving to a load balanced solution and that is way, WAY expensive. (more then PC can afford)
