403 Error?

[HawkIPA]

Why do I keep getting a 403 error when I try and open threads?

COME ON!!

 

[imported_ankle23]

yeah, after the game was over, this website went into slow gear - and now the 403 error.

 

[tomander]

Same here. Two weeks in a row.

 

[herkytime]

Getting slashdotted.

 

[Hawknick]

I'm thinking that there is too much traffic for the servers.

 

[Garandx]

I thought it might be jon updating the site but that doesnt seem to be it. It always happens after games end.

Yeah, the board no likey if there are more than 50 poasters on at once.

Give or take 2000

NO, the site is trying to come up with an excuse for Jon's backtracking from his comment on this situation being nothing similar to the JC/Stanzi 2008.

Give or take 2000

Wowsers - that is getting back to 2009 level interest - I thought a lot of folks had migrated to Twitter, but nice work keeping the traffic up!

Why in the hell would he do that right after a game?

It's not there consistently. Twitter has taken a huge bite from message boards. But on game days, it gets there.

No, there is something that isn't meshing with traffic spikes and the coding. We'll get it figured out

I honestly have no idea how to use it, but has it pretty much displaced the game chats that Spank used to do?

It's a bandwidth problem, Jon. Not much you can do if your traffic spikes so enormously on game day's that you need sch a higher amount of bandwidth that the rest of the weeks traffic doesn't justify paying for it.

The in game 'experience' with Twitter makes watching live sports more enjoyable, at least to me. And I never personally got into the game threads.

Do you post there during the game and if so is there a way to integrate your feed onto HN?

Actually, it may not be.

Gee, why not. A lot of smart people in the game threads.

Hundreds of times...and it's on the front page.

You should create a twitter account, then create a list of Iowa media to follow in games...it's a blast.
