Site Problems?

Jordan, I was wondering: Have you been having any problems with this site lately? Because in the last 2 or 3 days, I've been having real problems with this site, and no other ones. I'll be surfing the forums, and all of a sudden the web page will go all white, and it will say "Not Responding" at the top. One time when I closed the window, a pop-up came and said something about a potential security flaw.:confused: This all started a couple days ago, and I've been having no problems with any other site. Any idea what might be going on?
 
I've just noticed a terrible drop in the servers speed. Its usually when about 30-40 ppl are online so that may cuase the problem, but its just so unbelivably slow.
 
Yes, our server load has been unusually high, although I have never received any errors or noticed any slowdown (it's still one of the fastest sites on the net for me). I'm going to reboot the server (so it will be down for a few minutes) and see what happens...
 
Yesterday I've had a bit of slowdown, but none of the other described problems. Ah, well... it's up to speed again. :)
 
I just finished the reboot (as some of you probably noticed), and it seems to have brought our server load back down in the 0.10-0.20's. I also found out my hosting company is installing a line to Verio this week and the other lines aren't taking to the new addition very nicely...but this will of course be resolved soon enough.

closer to zero better?
Yes, it's basically a percentage of the use of the server's CPU's power.
 
Well, I found out the problem was on my end. My microphone was on.:rolleyes: I found this out when my dad opened microsoft word and it started typing everything we said.:P I turned the microphone off, and no problems now. Sorry about that.:P
 
Haha, that's OK! But, I am a little suprised that that was affecting the speed of the site. :reallyodd
