is anyone else having trouble getting on this site?
« on: October 16, 2025, 01:12:56 PM »
I've started getting odd error messages about half the time I'm trying to access Kymcoforum.com. I noticed going back a few months(?) that this particular site was slow to load...and now I get error messages saying 'too many requests', server unavailable and today, 'insufficient storage'. I hit refresh and the site usually then opens.

Anyone else seeing these things? (this site is the only one I get these messages for...no other sites I visit online)

I got an error message every thread I clicked on this morning....I also noticed that my attached thumbnail pic I posted earlier isn't showing anymore. When I click on the pic attachment, rather than opening up the full size pic, it goes to download it...lots of glitches going on.

I get error messages the majority of the time I click on something...sometimes I have to hit the refresh button 5 or 6 times to get through.

Any word from the Admin?

this particular site was slow to load...

The server side is suffering from lack of maintenance.  The sys-admin needs to pay attention to the file load on the server since this happens when the SQL database and log files grow beyond limits.  A forum like this grows continuously from user activity and needs to be pared down from time to time.  Or else the site needs to rent additional space. The pen only holds so many pigs and then there starts this ungodly uproar!

Hooray! The site has been unblocked.  The admins may not have been aware that there was a problem.  Somebody has to actually pick up the phone and make direct contact.

Picked up my (cell) phone, and texted admin. :)
Ordinarily response/fix/block from admin. can happen in as little at 5 min.
Longer this time.
