Forum outages?

[alcazar]

Hi Godfather? Anyone? I keep getting locked out by a message that says the forum has exceeded it's bandwidth?
What can I/we do about it?
Thanks.

Yeah I saw that too earlier but I think it fixes itself

This happens to me, too.

I didn't know the forum wasn't working. The site exceeded its bandwidth today, I don't exactly know what it is but I know what causes it to do that. With my host I've got a certain space for how much traffic I get on the site and if its over that amount of space the website won't run.

Well, when it happens to me, it's not the forum that does it, it's the entire site. Which I guess includes the forum, but still. It happens to me a lot, but then 5 minutes later it's fine again. So idk...

I was locked out for over four hours.

I couldn't get on the main page yesterday but I managed to get on the forum because on Firefox it comes up whenever I type shawn or even shaw into the address bar

Your computer knows you are infatuated.............

[Scrawney]

yes it does. Whenever I type in www. the first three things that come up are:
1. this site
2. Shawn's official site
3. facebook

In my defence, I bookmark a lot of sites but I'd say this site would still be in the top 3

Strange, when I do that, all I get is web sites on "stalking"........hmmmmm very odd.

[Scrawney]

Lol well the trick is to go via google for those sites

Lol. Mine's the same way! Google is 4th on that list.

i think almost everyone has google pop up that would be like having a game system without games!!! (not my best analogy, but still up there )

[Scrawney]

lol good analogy! I have google in my toolbar so it doesn't pop up but if it wasn't my toolbar then it would

Bandwidth controls the amount of traffic that you can get on the site at a time (usually an amount of bandwidth is set up monthly). If this amount is exceeded then the site closes down for a little until more bandwidth is available. I didn't look up the definition of bandwidth or anything, so don't quote me on that. I'm just defining from my own knowledge.
