Hey guys. I know the site has been acting funky, and now I know why.

BoingBoing and Buzz did web articles on BrickArms and drove 6 times the normal amount of traffic to BrickArms.com and the Forums!

This makes the web application shut down every once in a while, and makes everyone have to log in again. Ugg!

I'll soon move the forums to a dedicated site in order to alleviate the load on BrickArms.com.

UPDATE: I've moved the forums to a temporary location on my Chapman5 server, while I bring up a 100% dedicated Forums server next week! Woo hoo!

UPDATE 3/9 2:31PM PST: Email is now working! Please PM me if you are still having any problems with the site logging you out early.

Ah. I see, thanks for the clarification on that one Will. Will we still be able to link on to the forums from the BA homepage or will we have to go to your website?

Being logged out the moment you post a good little sentence really was getting on my nerves, do you think you could sort out the forum, so when you try to access an area you were not permitted into, it shows the sweaty faced blonde guy from the original doom, at the point where you have no life left? I honestly could not think of a better way to be unpermitted... although, he does get on your nerves, especially in the "hamburger" stage...

Glad to hear that this annoying issue has been resolved. Now I will be able to post up a couple of vigs I have been working on.
