Resolution to "Server too Busy" Messages

Bond · 09-19-2003, 10:05 PM

I have disabled some options that should decrease on the "server too busy" messages. I have not forced guests to register yet, although I have cut back on their privileges. If worst comes to worst I will make all guests register to view the forum.

Now, I need your help to see if what I have done has worked. I personally am not getting any of these "server too busy" messages, so I need to know if you are continuing to get them after this point. I don't care if you got them before; I want to know if you are getting them right now and into the future. Thanks.

Well, I was getting that message 90% of the time. And for once, I logged on and it didnt give it to me. So either I got extremely lucky, or you fixed it.

Just got that message again right now. For me I have to log out before I can get back in.

Er, what do you mean?

He's saying that when he gets the "server too busy message", if he logs out and then logs back in, he can by-pass the message.

Yep thats what I mean. I think other people have tried that and it works, thats where I got the idea.

Clearing the cookies seem to make the busy server message go away.

Well, I've now forced all guests to register to view the board since nothing else has worked. The bots seem to be going down. I may try closing the boards for a few minutes sometime today. Hopefully that will get them to go away. It's not that they are really that bad, but I guess we can't handle all the bandwidth they're taking up.

I give up. I've tried everything to stop these spiders but they just won't leave.

Here's the "server busy" message.

Edit: Or not... It won't let me attach the picture

Edit2: Better

Well, I'm afraid to say I can't stop these "server too busy" error messages. Logging in does seem to bypass them though. I have uploaded a file that should tell the bots to **** off in the future, but for now we have to wait it out until this group leaves.

I love these server too busy messages. They are sweet.

Bond · 09-21-2003, 09:39 PM

It seems as though the spyder bots have gone away. Is anyone still getting the "server too busy" messages?
