503 Errors

True, I haven't been getting them recently...

I guess it was a temporary traffic overload. I mean there are threads on HG/SS and the trade center is open which always brings in a lot of kids, or maybe admins were running some secret maintenance.
 
While we are in a period of peak load, that doesn't appear to be the cause. More than likely, we've got a similar error to the last time we had this, where some weird thing is causing the databases to lock up. Our technical people are on the problem, and you'll know when we do.

In the meanwhile, keep letting us know here when and where you've experienced issues. It helps us when we're looking at our server logs to see how what messages we're getting at the backend correspond to to actual incidences of 503's.
 
I have been getting them for the last week or so myself
Doesnt matter when or where im looking in the forums either seems completely random to me
 
Wellll when i was about halfway done with my "session" on the forums,my browser told me it couldn't establish an connection,not a 503 error,I think that was a bit more serious...And from last night i think i got about.....maybe 58? including the can't establish connection blah de da junk.

:mail: Mew got mail!DING CHIME CLANG OW!:mail:
 
I've only gotten one. :p About three days ago I think. I just reloaded and it was fine.
 
For a while I couldn't get onto Bulbapedia or these forums. It said that there were technical difficulties.
 
I have not had any problems so far. I got a 503 error the other day, but that was it only on on main page though.
 
No problems today, but when those 503 errors were popping up for everyone, I also got the occasional 504 Gateway timeout. "The server did not respond in time" That happened on here and Bulbapedia.
 
I just had a 503 error about a minute ago. Also the forums seem to be a little sluggish like yesterday.
 
I just had two as well, and things were moving a but sluggish for me as well.
 
I haven’t had problems today. The big problem day for me was on Monday night when I tried to access the site and couldn’t.
 
Oh i take it back... AHHHGGGGHHHHH database problem/503! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
