The server is too busy at the moment.

[HaploVoss]

I think that is already in the works... it is just taking a bit longer to actually happen than originally thought. Believe me it is frustrating to me too, but I put up with it cuz I likes the folks here, and they've helped me prolong and vastly improve my vaping experience

Take care,

We all are, but in the other thread about this as well as the "ideas for upgrades" thread... they have acknowledged the server issues and said the change-over is coming soon to a more stable server.

It was giving me the error for about 90 min straight this afternoon... the Chuck thread must have been busy

It was happening throughout the day yesterday (Sept 28) and that's the first time I've seen it during the day.

Last night was impossible!!! ;-)

This happened to me several times yesterday afternoon. Usually when this happens I stay off a few minutes and then can get back on. Does this have to do with the number of people on the forum.

you both are correct. all things take time and will be put into place as soon as possible. SJ and others are working on it. i assure you all it will be worth the wait and growing pains.

WELL GUYS....... I am sick of it to.... So I invite you to visit our chat room over at the link in my signature below. We have a heck of a team over there and a killer server that we are running so that we don't EVER EVER EVERRRRRR get the web site of death screen. So come on over and take a look and be sure to stop by and leave a post in the forum. Be sure to say hello to mrecigreviews, Titanflyer, Tazzed, Mitch, Mike1218, and Copperheadsmith.



Until then,

I deliberately open up numerous tabs and windows to make this problem happen more often for others.
(If you can't tell I'm joking, well, I am).

At one point last evening, early, I noticed that there were as many visitors as members (over 200 each). That could be a good thing...more people are hearing about them and want to find out more. Or, it could be a bad thing...someone is trying to cause trouble (I know, a "conspiracy" isn't likely but with ASH, you never know).

 

[smokum]

The actual stats per our fearless leader SJ:

As to why it's happening - we've unexpectedly hit 16 thousand plus visitors per day over the last week - that's up from 12-13 thou per day the week before.

That's a big jump, and it's bad timing that we haven't yet got the new server in place.

However, it should be up and running in the next couple of days - and will be if our load testing takes place as it should tomorrow.


VapeOn,

[googled]

Any idea why such a big jump? Any clue from the referrers or are they mostly search engine referrals?

 

[smokum]

No idea myself..... SJ and his new team of hired techs are on the technical end of things.

E-cigs are coming to that point in a hot products life cycle, where they could explode in popularity. I guess it's already beginning to happen. The surge in hits to the site will probably continue as more and more people are exposed to e-cigs. Hopefully the courts rule favorably, and industry growth will continue to skyrocket.

Well said, and before I get kicked off again just want to say DITTO to that, I wish us all the luck in the world! The more boots on the ground in this clash is nothing but a good thing.

When I first joined in March 09, there were around 5000 members, if I'm mistaken somebody correct that, so this Forum and the World is waking up BIG TIME. Wonderful thing, aside from the overloads!
