I keep getting this message saying server busy from this website (not a pop up but in the website itself). I was wondering if anyone else was getting this as well.

Personally I am supprised it's lasted this long on what is essentially the computing power of a home desktop computer.
But who am I to speak?
Actually the problem is that an un-godly number of spam e-mails are being sent out with the return address being our server. At one point we had over 8 thousand e-mails in our queue.
Yeah I was having this problem all day. The only thing that fixed it was logging off. Then that stopped working but now it seems to be working fine for me.

In other words, the server is being attacked.
So the option of email notification if someone posts in a thread you have either participated in or created is whats making this error? If so, then all members should de-activiate that feature.

That is not what is causing the problem, but that feature may not work 100% now because I had to put some limits on the server.
You know all those great e-mails you get in your mail for watches, pills, drugs, poker, gambling and so on, well someone that is sending out millions of those are putting @blizzplanet e-mail address's in the return section, and im getting failure messages from thousands of servers sent to me.
I think i have the problem handled for now, but we will see.
Okay. Well good job Mr. Umaro. I am sure without your help, we would still be in "Server busy crisis"
Actually, all the server busy messages where from the server being restarted and so on while we where trying to fix the problem. If I wasnt here today no one would even be able to connect to the site. :mad:

That would have been horrible, good thing you came on when you did. But still good job in fixing whatever problem was plaguing the site.

Lol. Nah it was just like for things where you have to have an email address and it was apparent it was gonna spam but it was to get a download. I just punched the keyboard a few times and typed in @Yahoo and got my download. Lol.
