    Yeah, for me as well. Wasn't sure if I was just catching it at goofy times but I have noticed a much larger frequency of the message popping up today than in the past while.

    Getting some of these messages earlier in the morning than I recall, especially on a non-comic-update day. The summer vacation explanation might be part of it.

    Yeah, it's been worse today than ever before. It wasn't even this bad during E3. I'm getting the godforsaken busy error pretty much every single time the site reloads. And it's taking much longer to get past the error than ever before, too. It's usually only about a minute. Now it's more like 3 or 4.

    I think we've reached the limit of what posting in this thread can tell us about the problem. I think you're better off saving those posts for other stuff when the forums are this bad. Not that I'm trying to be a dick or anything, it's just that it can't be the most fun way to spend a minute.

    Would it be possible to set up a donation drive to buy you guys better servers, more cloud time, or whatever infrastructure the forums run on? I would be happy to chip in and I'm sure so would many others.

    For that matter, if you have a PayPal/Amazon/whatever address for those purposes, I would be happy to make a thread in D&D asking for donations.

    Why don't you just shut down the forums until it's done? They're not usable in this state anyway.

    You know, not to go all conspiracy theory or anything, but does the increased activity having anything to do with recent hack attacks on various forums or other online sites? I would imagine this forum's user info would be useful to someone.

    Maybe someone is flooding the server or fishing for security holes?

    Mind you I'm not saying there are any, but maybe they're (slowly) realizing it?

    Just a thought.

    Why are the forums always busy!?
    Im often finding myself unable to view the forums and when I can I often get a servers busy message after typing up a post and trying to post it up

    This is REALLY annoying. Ive been on these forums for the last 2 years but it this keeps up i dont think I'll really be able to participate :/

    Note: this post was from a few days ago I accidently posted it in the wrong thread.

    here's hoping the problem is gone *raises glass*

    I sometimes get connection issues with the site, started a few days. IE8 times out and says no connection could be made. I'm only getting these errors at work, so it may be my office's proxy server but just a heads up. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or if it's related to yesterday's problem.

    For one thing, Penny Arcade is a popular webcomic.
    For another, this is June, month of E3, so that led to it being busy for like a week.
    Plus, there's another PAX coming up, so there's that.

    There's many reasons why the forums are busy, quit complaining, the admins/mods/etc. are doing their best to get the forums completely fixed and bring up a new one, just be patient.

    If you were always able to get onto the forums there would be no need for patience.
