Yep. Hopefully, we can help the staff generate enough from our sponsors to get things back and running.

The reason this is happening is that the board itself is exceeding it bandwidth with haveing so many online and what the host gives them for bandwidth.The board I moderate never has this problem as aren't on shared server with other MMOs.This is the one.

Age, bandwidth has nothing to do with it. Large sites do not have a problem with bandwidth. We never "exceed" our limit. It has to do with the number of MySQL requests to the database at the same time.

And we aren't on a shared server, we have a dedicated server for just this site and have outgrown that server. Right now we are looking into bringing in an additional server.

That is good to hear Indie I thought from looking at the main site as we call it the frontpage it looks like a shared server.

Has anyone ever actually tried using the Google search that the search button directs you to?

I have absolutely no problems with it at all o.o

Sure, it's less straight-forward, but if you actually click on the links, you'll find that it will bring you to what you want most of the time.
