Forum frequently Disabled

Mon Nov 21, 2011 8:55 pm

I don't know if it's a forum hosting problem or if it's a server issue bu for the past month I've been getting a lot of times where I can't view or post for several minutes because the site gives me a "This board is currently disabled" in red next to my log out button and "Sorry but the board is temporarily unavailable, please try again in a few minutes." in the spot between upper and lower navigation bars. Normally i would chalk it up to my end behaving wacky but there is absolutely nothing wrong with my connections nor my browser (i have firefox if that changes anything).

Just hoping to bring attention to a possible defect. Hope it isn't annoying

Disabling of the forum is an automatic load-shedding tactic, though is somewhat last-ditch and not a pretty one. I'm sorry about that. The alternative (gone) isn't pretty either.

We're working hard on a solution for that that involves shiny new hardware. I hear Santa will be good to The Brewing Network this year.

Sure hope so!

Thanks Code, that was helpful. So it's a lack of server capabilities like i though. Let me know if there is anything to help

I would guess that the main way to help is for listeners to sign up as monthly BN donors, if they haven't already done so and are able to donate in any way. Servers are never cheap, and neither is bandwidth.

Yeah, I guess I should donate if I'm going to complain, but I am getting REALLY SICK of the forum being constantly disabled. To be honest, I have mostly quit coming to this forum because all I get is frustration and delays. I have been frequenting Home Brew Talk, but I would really like to come back here. It's just that the last 7 TIMES I have tried to post something here, the board gets disabled and my post doesn't go through. It won't be long before I stop trying.
