I just got back from a weekend camping trip. Don't know exactly how long we were down (guessing at least 3 hours), but everything is back online now.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Damn it... I was afraid of that.
The earliest message I received was on the 6th. At that point it hadn't gone completely down. Sorry again for the trouble.

Part of the problem is caused by people hammering-refreshing when they get the server load error, or when a page isn't loading right away. STOP THAT! Give it a chance to have a hernia if it needs to, and it will self-resuscitate most of the time.

We are asking a lot of Apache and mySQL on this server, with the number of members and queries at any given time. Hopefully we’ll be moving to a new server sometime soon – bigger faster server means more $$$.
Donations are always appreciated http://board.midibuddy.net/paypal.php
Also, we’re in the process of putting together a Premium MIDIBuddy Membership program http://board.midibuddy.net/t53408.html
Either option will help us get onto a better server, which is what is needed to solve this little problem. Until then, we’re going to have to do the best with what we have.
