Lately I have been getting lots of "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." messages. Really irritating but I guess it is to be expected with all the forums that are currently down. Guess all the forums are in need of new servers :lol:

yes we have noticed mate. We are averaging some 800 users on line at any given time this week which is pushing the server (which BTW as I announced a couple of weeks ago is slated for replacement) so there is not much that can be done until a new server is obtained and installed. We are fine tuning things as much as possible to keep the disruptions to a minimum.

I haven't had a problem, maybe it's a problem with the phone line? :p

If it sounds like this, I'd have your service checked. :lol:

No, VIPs are less likely to be shed than ordinary members, the filter works it's way up the ranks as load increases.

upgrade costs monies.

They sure do. Running RWI costs monies, trust me :)
Since Craig is so concerned maybe he may like to upgrade himself to VIP?

If you needed another reason to upgrade, this one is as good as any :)

Whilst trying to read this post, ironically I got the server busy message.

Been meaning to do this for a few days now. Now upgraded :maty:

Next paycheck, I'm contributing. Might be worth having some sort of telethon. :)

Ass, grass or VIP upgrade-nobody rides for free. Well worth the little bit of money to take part in this wonderful community.

Can you please tell me the vip benefits?

You get a warm glow from knowing that you are directly supporting the community from which we all benefit.

I am sure there are others, but that is the one that sealed it for me...
