Wow guys I got the server busy message when trying to access GQ. Just for the hell of it I copied down the last post time and it was 10:10Pm. I’ve noticed when a hot topic is being discussed It is difficult but the last message posted on the whole board was 10:29. 10 minutes before I got to the boards. It took 3 minutes to open atmb and the last time someone posted to it was 8:37. I’ll complain to my server but the other mbs I use aren’t having this trouble. ---

Sorry for your inconvenience. Sometimes we just get all congested and people get timed out trying to access the system. Like Yogi Berra supposedly said, “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.” 🙂 All I can recommend is that you keep trying. your humble TubaDiva Administrator
