This "server is too busy" business has gotten to the point that this forum is almost unusable.

I'm a web developer. It is not hard or time-consuming to move this forum and it's database to a faster machine or to add some bandwidth. Nor do such upgrades incur much for additional cost. I've done it enough times, I know.

SJ has asked for suggestions for format changes, etc. That would be great, but there is no reason to wait for a new forum to be built to do what needs to be done to make this one usable.

this board is a script of vbulletin which is a common forum script. It is a bandwidth and resource hog.

it would probably be ok on its own server with a lot of ram..

Should take more than 1 to 2 days to run on another box.

It is getting very problematic everyday. If you are trying to post be sure to copy it before trying to submit. Or you'll start over becuase of busy error.. lol

I run 2 dedicated servers and it isnt hard to put on another box.. come on. lets get with it here!!

This is happening because of the exponential growth in the popularity of electronic cigarettes.
We all show them to a few people, who show them to a few people, etc...

I have discovered, though, that if you just hit refresh it saves your messages, replies, etc... and will repost them without them being lost once all is well again.

Hello alvitae

I'm very sorry for the difficulties you may be experiencing in accessing the forum currently. This is due to unprecedented number of visitors to ECF over the past couple of weeks.

We are currently testing our new server and hope to have it all up and running in the next couple of days - so with any luck normal service will resume shortly.

Thanks - SmokeyJoe
