It seems to be happening more frequently, and seems to happen between 11:30 PM and 1:00 AM EST. I don't have any issues like this with any other website. Anyone else getting this error message?
It’s been happening to me regularly the last couple weeks. Last night at 8:30 to 9:00 pm in MST (same as west coast DST). Think it has been about that time every time it has happened. AZ doesn’t go on DST except for the reservation.
It has NOT happened to me at all. I check in at least twice a day.
Happened again last night. 9:00 pm.
It happened to me again last night as I was submitting a reply in the D.M Lefever thread.
I didn't know that my post did not go through, and refreshed the page after getting the Internal Server Error. Apparently my post was lost.
But I suppose it could have been Censored too. I submitted a post in Argo44's A.I. Thread a couple days ago, and the next morning, the entire Thread was gone. I think this forum was more fun before it became an internet Safe Space for Liberal Democrats.
Daily data update of files?
The BBS runs on a Linux platform and the files come from another SQL server.
Typically, I see errors when there is a rift between the 2.
Aside from kicking the hosting company I don't have much recourse.
Here is a list of typical things that can cause it:
Server mis configuration - very rare
Server melting (Once every 5 to 8 years has been the norm)
Server software changes - Typically after a melt
Hack Attempt (Most nights)
Independent server backups (1 or the other backing up)
Time stamp (clock differences)
Network issues between the servers (traffic due to bot scans, routing issues or hack attempts)
Thank you all for your participation.
PS - If you are writing a long reply it might be prudent to fabricate it in a text editing program then cut and paste it. That way you have spelling & grammar check as well as a copy shoud an error occur.
Only happens to me when I access the site on my Iphone late at night. Doesn't happen on my desktop, which is where I almost always login.

Thanks for looking into this Dave.
I brought it up because it seems to be getting a bit worse over time. It has happened to me on two different P.C.'s and my Android phone, and using different WiFi networks, so didn't appear to be anything on my end. I figured it might be a sign of an incipient hardware failure.
