Site Temporarily Unavailable Error Messages

[Brooke]

Hi guys, several people, including us mods have noticed that every now and then we will get a site temporarily unavailable error message. Just click refresh to bring the forum back.

We contacted our host provider to find out if we were exceeding our bandwidth, we aren't, we aren't even close. But they did say for a new site we are having an unusually high number of ips accessing our domain, that it is causing a slight server lag. They are suprised at how popular we are in just 24 hours! The Tech support guys said, "never in the history of a new website and domain have I seen this much access in a 24 hour period!"

Please do not post about this in the errors forum, just click refresh!

I think this is a testament to the great community we had at the other site that we've had such a high turnout today. Here we are on a Super Bowl Sunday, with all the other various things going on, and we're essentially setting records! Here's to a wonderful run at GRT for everybody.
