Save the Clock Tower - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Does anyone else keep getting notices that "resource limit is reached" every other time you open the Downs or a link on the Downs? Downsing is becoming rather difficult for me because I have to restart my computer for nearly every different thread I want to open.

I've noticed an increased number of visitors the last couple of days, as in hundreds. Maybe that's a coincidence though, since historically there have been even more than that online at various times, with no apparent issues.

I guess it's my bad connection kicking in too.

I've seen it too--USUALLY trying again (or clicking on an alternative link--like "most recent post" instead of "newest unread post") seems to work, though it didn't one time (this morning I think). It's not as bad as the last round of errors, but it definitely is a forum issue not a single user's computer.

I've had the same problem in the last few days. I had to try several times... and then sometimes ended up with triple posts to "Palantir of Fortune".

Happened to me two days ago or so, and it gave me a fright, but refreshing the page worked well enough. Okay, and now it seemingly happened again. But the workaround: before you submit your post, select and copy the whole text of it, and in case it shows you the error, just refresh it and paste your text and try again.

Still, it is slightly inconvenient, so I'm wondering what is the source of the problem and if anything can be done about it.

I blame Peter Jackson, because....well, just because.

Seriously, could it be connected to the higher than usual number of visitors, coupled with the recent upgrade?
