Apologies to all users who have been or will be receiving intermittant MySQL errors. This is due to the server, that the site is now hosted on, reaching the maximum number of allowed connections. I've been in discussion with the new hosts but am unable to get them to change the limit.

My advice at the moment is:

• If you receive the error please wait and few seconds and then refresh the page. DO NOT CONTINUALLY CLICK REFRESH!! I receive an e-mail for every failed connection, 2,500 yesterday alone.
• If you are submitting a long reply to a thread, copy your text first before you submit it. Then if you get an error you can paste your text and try again.
• If you get the error when submitting your new hi-score in the arcade, please don't contact me - there is nothing I can do about it.

It may be that I need to move the site again, but at the moment I don't have time to do this and I have also paid for a month with the current host.

If not increase the number of connections you could introduce a holding pool which would queue the request until the connection became available. instead of the SQL Instance error they would get a busy then it would load when ready.. the hosters would need to put in a queue process checker first to see if connections
