Anybody getting loads of 500 internal server errors and much general slowness on the forums today?

Guess even technology does not like Monday mornings.

Yep, getting them too, its only stopped raining for about 35mins this weekend were we are so I'm guessing some water has got in somewhere.

Broadband speed is doing just a bit better than dialup at the moment too.

This is progress.....

Any chance of not allowing guests to view the forum, or limiting the number of guests, its getting annoying

The traces seem okay and the amount of browsers is not as high as it was last week. It could have been caused by stress but I would generally say that the 500 server errors means that one of the web services is throwing an unhandled exception and the services/deamons need to be recycled.

Apparently there has been a problem with one of the dilithium crystals which caused a disruption with the antimatter fields in the warp drive
