Hello I am the moderator for this board and spent 5 minutes trapped in a thread without being able to navigate the site due to a too many connections to the server message!

We are a very new board and had this problem before Christmas and were assured that server maintenance and Server balancing were being done and would eliminate this!

How are we supposed to attract or retain members when we get messages like this?

This should not be happening to a new board that has approximately 30 members and only 2 were logged on at the time!

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Martyn is moving forums off some of the servers in the 70s today, so your TMC errors should clear up.

Thanks for your response! This is very aggrevating as we were assured this was done already!

We were saying we were determining which boards to move, but it wasn't done before these new servers went up over the past weekend.

Actually we were told it was to be done on the first week of January! Have a look at this thread.
Thanks.

And it was, i moved around 80,000 hits a day worth of forums off the server.

Its busy again, more need to be moved off. Doesnt mean it wasnt done to begin with. Forums grow

Martyn, I do not want to get into a pissin match with you! That is not the point of this thread. I am aware that you folks work very hard running these proboards forums and maintaining Servers and I am sure about a million other things. And we appreciate what you do for us! As a matter of fact for about 48 hours the forums load time was better than it had ever been!!!

But maybe Load Balancing is not enough if the problem re-occurs within 2 weeks of the Balancing?
Thanks

It was your implication that we haddnt done anything when we had which got the responce.

Signups until recently were on that server, meaning it got busy a lot quicker.
At the weekend i brought additional servers online to move forums from servers which had become too busy from signups.

Once forums are moved off, the growth time to TMC will be much longer, as new forum signups are pointed to other servers

Thanks Martyn!
