Anyone noticed that Escapist keeps going on and off? I keep getting messages like: "Fatal error: Database Error: Master Connection Failed/sixpack/web/global/classes/class.db.mysql.inc on line 84"

Whats happening? It only happens for a few minutes each time...

Yeah, the DB server is trying to cheat by shutting off the site when it's about to lose a battle.

You're not alone. I'm thinking it might just have something to do with the Genre Wars thing.

Yeah. Gigantic flood of people wanting to play this would create a rather large problem for their servers.

Most definately the Beta causing this. I've had problems too.

But where do I go now to get my daily fix?

Agh. It just happened again for a few seconds.

Are the mods going to close down the Beta for a bit? That'd ease things up wouldn't it?

Escapist has been acting funny for the past 20 minutes or so now. A short database error, slow page loading, etc. Their servers are probally going a bit wonky from the beta.

I kept getting the same error message. When I saw 'sixpack' in the error message I just assumed the implication was that the site maintenance personnel's alcoholism was getting in the way of their job...
