Error Messages

I'm getting a lot of them right now, probably because there are a lot of people online and in the forums too. I got this odd message though :


Warning: Too many connections in /home/arn/html/macrumors/forums/admin/db_mysql.php3 on line 40

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Too many connections in /home/arn/html/macrumors/forums/admin/db_mysql.php3 on line 40

You mean this?

BTW, I’ll be back later.

[job]

Yeah, I have gotten the same message several times now.

I also get the vBulletin splash screen that says the server is too busy and that I should try to post later. I'll try to get a pic....

[Mr. Anderson]

its really got me concerned about tomorrow. The forums will in all likelyhood be useless during the keynote.

[job]

Yeah, I know. Last I checked there were 220 odd people using the forums and only 40 were registered members.

Do you know if TechTV will be broadcasting the Keynote? I checked their schedual and there was nothing about the expo (with the exception of a brief mention on screensavers.)

Here's the other message I've been getting :

[Mr. Anderson]

that's the only message I've been getting.

And its happened in the past, for no apparent reason and then fixes itself. For one week it happened everymorning for an hour or so. Very weird stuff....

[job]

I've been trying to load the forums and every time it shows that message.

It does seem to "fix" itself. I'll surf for a while and come back to the forums and it will work again.

Hey, the forums are back up. That IRC room got a little hard to follow.

[job]

Yeah I noticed. I was not in the chat, since the Java client could not connect.

btw thanks for the idea of a Marathon 'tar. :D

Yeah, I'm a Marathon fan, of course you probably guessed that if you went to my website.

Yeah, how's the mod coming along?

I have been playing some good ol' Marathon Infinity on my mom's old Performa. :D

Great Stuff. ADB mouse and all. :D

It's coming along great. I'll post this great screenshot I took in a few minutes, all hi-resoultion textures and OpenGL. You almost can't even tell that it's the Marathon engine.

Are you working on it by yourself?

[Durandal7]

Yep, it's a one man project.

[Mr. Anderson]

not bad, what're you planning on doing with it when its done?

It would of course be a free download.
