Everything should be back to normal and working properly now.  Let us know if you still have any unusual trouble accessing the site.

And of course, thank you to all of you that stuck with us despite all the problems.  We know it's been a tough summer, and we're just happy to have this resolved.  We've actually got some neat stuff planned that we've been holding off on until things get sorted out, so we hope it was worth the effort.

Thanks again!

Yay, it's working!  The last few weeks have been tough and frustrating.  Thanks for posting so we'd know this should be it.

When I try to access the news post about the Mario Kart pre-orders ( http://www.planetgamecube.com/news_ed.cfm?action=edit&id=4678 ), I get a window saying "Invalid User... IP Logged..."

I'm having exactly the same issues as before. Maybe it's just my computer setup?
It loads, then blank screen, then a moment later it throws up the page, but never "completes" it.

At "peak times" i had (not sure about now) to click a link repeatedly until it loads. I'll check later.

I'm glad anyway that it's sorted for the most part

Well, it's working much better now.  But the server still seems to be taking a long time to load pages for me.  I have to wait about 60 seconds for some pages at times.  But it's not that bad I suppose.  I can definately live with this, if it's the new status quo.  Hell, I have to wait 5 seconds between every screen in Xenosaga, and I could live with that.  

Anyways, welcomd back PGC.  I have really missed you guys.

It's better now, but still not as good as it has been before- I still have to constantly reload a lot of pages. Still, though, it's a huge improvement- thanks guys.

Odd- I just upgraded to the latest version of Opera (7.2) and I'm barely having any of the problems I just talked about in my last post. I guess I can't complain.

Wait, scratch that- today the forums (and the main site) were worse than they've been in a very long time. I ccan barely get anywhere, let alone actually enjoy posting messages.

Well, it's better than before, but I still get the endless wait when I hit 'Reply'. I'll then mash it a few more times, and I'll end up somewhere. MAGICAL!

I've noticed that this site works absolutely perfectly... until I try to post anything.  It's like I break it.

Anyway it's working great right now but I'll have to give it the work test.  No matter what it seems to totally crawl whenever I'm at work.

This is so weird- this morning the forums were the worst they've ever been. It took me over an hour just to get into one thread. And then suddenly they start working faster than they ever have since the problems first started! I've never been so overjoyed to encounter the 1 minute posting limit in my life.

Yeah, it seems to be on and off.  This has been the first time I could get on in a couple of days, but now it's lightning fast.

I ain't saying nothing until this lasts a few days.  I don't want to jinx it.

Did someone throw something at the server?

I've been unable to reach the site for 3 days.

while the site/forums are working better then they have been for the last few days, they are still horribly slow. the pages still dont load ocassionaly either, forcing you to hit the refresh button like before.  

edit: well, after browsing through the forums a bit, they are moving along pretty nicely now. i still have to hit the links 4-5 times to get the page to start loading, but once it does it loads quite quickly.

heh "fixed". I assume the guy who fixed your car didn't have to deal with bullet holes in the engine.

Even if he did, then he would simply replace the engine. It may cost more but it would work again.

I really like this site as I find it to be one of the best for news, but this problem has been going on for months now, there is no reason for it not to be fixed by now other than an unwillingness to spend the nessasary money. ISnt that the reason we have so many pop ups? to pay to fix probems and so on?
