Just letting you know that I have been getting the following message A LOT lately: The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
I have been getting it on mtbr as well.

I've requested help in finding out the cause from engineering. They are making inquiries to see if it's spidering or something else.

This isn't a new problem you know..
If you look below at the "similar threads", a post was made about this same problem back in March of 2004...

Yeah, I understand that we have had server overload before, but this looks to be something different to me. I see several error messages coming up for users. The time is incorrect in the "who is on line" page. Hopefully what ever is causing this problem will be fixed soon.

Server overload due to Tour De France and everyone on the mtbr forums. Just like last time. I get sick and tired of having to save the posts as I post them as the server is going to be more than likely too busy and it takes me 3-4 times to just post one message. Then all the other posts I haven't read, are marked as read because it thinks I left and came back to the forums again. I wish they would fix that problem it is very annoying.

my "edit" time was wrong the other day.
