More weird server stuff?

I just got an error message while trying to view some threads - are we having problems with the hosting company again, or is the Lounge just too popular:

Obviously it's fine now as I'm starting a thread about it, but has anyone else seen this before?

Usually that occurs when a site is on a shared server. If one site uses too much CPU than all of the sites are affected which is why it's limited. I imagine FL gets a large amount of traffic. Dedicated servers are best for high activity forums but they are very pricey.

I can't speak for MK but speaking from experience there is no way to not get those messages other then using less CPU which means fewer hits to the forum's database or getting a VPS or dedicated server.

MK feel free to PM me if you would like a good recommendation for VPS or dedicated web hosting (I have been with five hosts before settling with my current one two years ago). I did a whois and see you're using BlueHost.com. They don't seem to offer more beyond the standard shared hosting package.

Echoing Doc Devereux and Sharpetoys, I got the same message several times from noon Pacific until just now - about 12:25 - and let MK know. Ah, the joys of running a website, huhn?
