We are experiencing a failure not sure what is causing it yet.

Will update when have more information

Update:

For the past two days, the server has been running unstable due to one of the user's script using almost 70% of the total memory on the server. We have identified the issue almost immediately but tracing down to which user is using the memory was the challenge. We now have identified which user was causing the problem, suspended the account and notified the owner.

For the past an hour or two, the server seems to be running stable without any sign of high load or high memory usage. We will be monitoring the server status closely for the next couple of days.

Well, it is not in our control .. it is our host. Even their own web site has been mostly down.

This kind of nonsense has really delayed my GTX 550 Ti review. It is almost ready; it still needs a few more images. i think i got "pricing" analysis down. Then expect another review nearly back-to-back with this one .. if i can finish it with our site going up and down
:hello:

I'd wondered what was going on the other day. I asked SirPauly if he knew anything over on Rage3D and he was as clueless as I about it. Hosting problems are never fun.

I had a script error on this site last week, only one I've seen in a very long time. Probably not related to this though.

There's been a nasty worm going around the internet lately. I've noticed several sites go down over the weekend. It's some sort of MySQL malware.
