Why Are the Forums Fucking Up?

[zHellas]

The forums and site seem to be glitching alot today.

I looked at Off-topic Discussion, and it said that there are no threads for this yet.

Traffic? It's Wednesday, so ZP probably brings with it a lot of traffic...
Or maintenance could have gone wrong
Or squirrels could have bitten through the cables
Who knows.

Or it could be the first day of March Mayhem, and the servers are flooded with people from 'outside'

heh heh ironic that it took me abot 4 minutes to see this page...

 

[DuplicateValue]

Really? It's just painfully slow for me. I blame ZP.

The March Madness traffic fucks us every year. It sucks.

Yeah, it's looking pretty crowded today. Apparently due to March Madness though, according to others.

Unfortunately, the glitching of the site kept me from posting a truly awesome response to a topic. Trust me, it was both clever and witty.

Not to mention the march madness going on right now. Don't worry I'm sure this is going to be working soon.

Obviously it's the March Madness traffic - it's definitely not ZP, I come here every Wednesday and it's fine. But I'm trying to vote in the MM battles and it's basically impossible with how slow it is right now.

I've been getting that too. Along with pages just randomly refusing to load. I thought it was just my internet connection playing up again, as it periodically tends to do. But since I'm not the only one and I only seem to be getting the problem on The Escapist it's probably just due to traffic and strain on the servers.

 

[drbarno]

yea, likely march madness has caused this. It certainly gives its name meaning then

No...Everyday at school I am able to go to the Escapist easily and with no problems. Today, however, was fucking hell...Had tons of trouble.

March Mayhem. A lot of people are flocking to the site to vote for their favorite Dev teams.

 

[Generator]

Well, what do you know? My response showed up after all!

Please excuse this accidental extra response.

 

[Pimppeter2]

The forums are still being a bit glitch for me. There's lots of mayhem, if you catch my drift.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

For fuck sake I'm confused now, is it March Madness or Mayhem?

 

[Meggiepants]

As others have said, it's probably the March Madness.

BTW... the glitchiness today caused me to lose the greatest post in the world.

This is not the greatest post in the world. This is just a tribute.

I just lost a 6 paragraph topic thanks to it =(

Said the man who is new.
I kid. Welcome to the Escapist. Stay the hell out of the basement. It's for your own good.
OT:
My guess is it's wednesday and that whole blah blah blah thing. Or it could be that they are just having a technical difficulty. Both valid options I think.

I blame Canada.
