503 service unavailable

I've been getting a weird error all day from polycount: 503 Service Unavailable.

Happens nearly every time I click on links, i've gotta keep refreshing the page till eventually it loads. Not sure if it's something on my end or on the server end, just seeing if anyone else is experiencing this.

p.s. sorry if this has been mentioned i've been away for a week i looked about 4-5 pages back and couldn't find a mention of it before posting

just hit refresh until it comes up.

Politically correct MoP up.

So!... all these people, if we could get em to get some pins and shirts our gracious host would be... much amused. Wouldn't he?

I think I'll support the cause.

Ha... too bad everyone goes and works on their entry instead.

Ya, the error is coming up a lot as our server is getting slammed pretty hard. Shift-refresh the pages and it should work.

Vito and crew are assessing the problem and will do their best to straighten it out.

Try not to do that, a refresh is a request sent to the server and adds to the load thereof (more requests = more processing = slowing server down)... best to leave off and pop back later on.

BUT I NEED MY PC NOW!
