About 1130 CDT, the forums auto closed themselves due to server load. Not sure if ya'all changed something.
This has been happening a lot to me recently...
It's all on purpose, not to cause high load on the server.
we're on a server that runs some pretty large sites... since IP is supporting us with hosting, we do what we can to ease server load during busy times.
I've upped the threshold at which the auto-off triggers - it should happen less frequently now.
(This particular bout of offness has been caused by reconfiguring majordomo / trying to get majordomo to work and not kill the server.)
Great... Haven't hit it since I last posted.
Thanks Charles
It popped up on me today a few times.
