If you would like to avoid server errors for the nexxt 24 hours here are a few thigns you can do individually.

• 1 post/topic per minute max
• refrain from search for topics, find them yourself
• dont refresh every few seconds
• if the server goes down, wait a minute before checking

[Jewbert]

Wooooo! I have been doing these things. Thanks for telling meh though.

[Icey Defeat]

If searching becomes a huge problem, i may just disable it. This is nuts.

[Lim_202]

Oppps I did a few of these things however not all of them. I will try to wait longer... but thank you I did not know some of these

This sux. It was happening yesterday as well. Get rid of some of these leechers and spammers that just take up server space.

[blahblah35]

ill have to kick out my immeadiate reaction to refresh. Thanks icey

[Hawk]

I'll post as fast as I want, but other than that I already follow those suggestions. Searching for new posts is stupid o.o

[Icey Defeat]

These things should be a normal thing, but today its a must, searching just takes so much pressure on this server.

Dude, we don't clean out our member base for a reason, they may come back and be active. (See Eeyore... and others) Its not a problem, its the rapid refreshing that people like you are doing as you scramble for your 100 posts.

[Krnsaber]

I don't search in the first place Disabling it might not be such a bad idea.

At this point I would consider it a good idea.

[Icey Defeat]

If i disable it ill do it roughly 7 hours from now.

I aint doin any rapid refreshing. Ive been on for like 2 hrs and only gotten about 20 posts. Im just taking my time

Please just disable it now. Want me to make a poll about it right now?

[Lemonblood]

The only search I use is the one that lets you see recently posted in topics.

[Lim_202]

We just all need to be patient, I'm sure if everyone works on their time when the server gets too busy it will get better. I hope.

That is still a search

[blahblah35]

about the poll, i would support it, but i think i lot of other people might not. Everybody wants their 15 minutes.

Why would people at Codex want their 15 minutes of fame? Want it to be anonymous?

[*]refrain from search for topics, find them yourself

searching for something only takes 1-2 page loads, looking for it yourself could take 10+

[Icey Defeat]

I raised the waiting time between searches even more, and removed searchign for validating members. Server load has stayed low.

But it takes a strain on the server, the topics are already there, it has to regenerate a new list of topics each search.

Testing searching restrictions, removed searching for members /adv members/ validating members.

[Warlord]

luckily i have a backspace built into my mouse, I just backspace until the post gets through

[Icey Defeat]

Server load is staying low, im keeping the searching disabled.

that still doesn't change the point i was trying to make, searching puts as much strain on the server as loading a page (maybe i'm wrong, but i don't see how different they could be) & it can be a lot more efficient when it comes to server usage. if i wanted to find the topic where hawk says "i love penis in my pooper" it could take me 1hour or panning through topics, but with the search bar one page load.
