same here...????
This is been happening for a few days and the Admin is aware of the problem. If you want to jump directly to the messsageboard, you can key in www.boards.pngindians.com directly into your browser and it should take you messageboard.

The problem is only on the webcast. The radio signal from cool 92.5 was fine at the start of the game, according to my peeps back in SETX.

I've always operated this site at the lowest cost possible. The downside is that buys you a shared server which probably hosts 100 or more other sites as well.
But before I consider that to be the problem, I'm doing my best in what very little spare time to determine if this is a bandwidth, software, or other problem. For the software/database geeks out there like myself who are interested, it could be a rogue SQL script that needs to be optimized, PHP settings that need to be tweaked, a denial of service attack, CPU throttling that the host company has implemented recently, or a half dozen other things.
It's frustrating and I apologize to all the fans who are not able to get on the site. I hope to spend more time looking at it tomorrow.

Seems fine now, but there is no game in progress right now. Going by the messages that we get when the problem occurs and the actions of what happens when accessing the site through the main page or by going straight to the http://......../fanforum page, I would have to guess it is NOT a CPU, PHP or SQL Database error but an issue with your provider's service offering. In all cases of the different messages received, it all points to a capacity problem. Bandwidth consumption when lots of people accessing the site pre-game and during the game could be the problem but really doesn't fit the error messages we are seeing. If I had to make a guess I would say it is a Service Level problem, Licensing problem of IP Socket problem. You may want to address this with the provider and check the Sercive Level Agreement you have with them to see of you are exceeding the number of concurrent connections allowed. They should have monitoring and reporting statistics that they can provide you that show the number of connections at any time and if you are exceeding them on game night. I personally think you (actually WE, the fans) are exceeding the number of active connections you are allowed OR exceeding the number of active connections THEIR Server can handle. You may ask if they have a redundant or mirror Server that can pick up the additional needed connections during peak periods. It may cost a bit more for the additional simultaneous connections than what your SLA states, but I would ask if they have like a burstable rate that would cover it only for short duration periods like 2 hours pre-game through 2 hours post-game. Just my 2 cents.....................

Thinking about this a little more and you know I believe this started about 3 weeks or so ago. I don't remember having problems before that and I am on the Website a lot, especially just before, during and just after the games. I don't post much except when excited, mostly a lurker. You might ask what changed at your provider's site 3 weeks or so ago. Thay may have added another customer to the same Server as this Website and this new customer is sucking up all the resources. If you can find this to be the case or that they made modifications to this Server back then, then you could ask to have them move that other customer to another Server, move THIS Website to another lesser used Server or have them go back and check their modifications. Going back through their stored history with usage reports would help narrow down when and where the issue started and what could be causing it.
