   Gamedev is ridiculously unreliable
  I have been visiting gamedev for years, its a great site and a great resource. During all that time, I've always had issues with "page cannot be displayed" errors. Sometimes its not bad, other times it makes the site virtually unusable. For the past few weeks, it has been obscene. I got at least 20 of the errors in total just to try and post this thread:4 in attempting to load www.gamedev.net,6 to load the forums,3 to load this subforum,10+ to open the post new thread page.I made the mistake of trying to open another thread here which caught my eye and resulted in another 5-10 failed page requests, but I'm not counting that detour.I've had the same problems on two internet connections in two different states (home and at college), and in both firefox and IE.I don't know what can be done about this, but I hope it can be fixed. I'm going to lose patience and stop trying to get here, and I can't be the only one with these problems.   
  I've been experiencing the same thing, although only for the last 2-3 days. If I refresh after a minute or two it seems to fix it, but it can be pretty irritating. Using Firefox on WindowsXP SP2.   ;  never had the problem... always been great for me   ;  I've been having this problem as of the past day or two. It says there's too much traffic.   ;  The site is having some issues recently that people are working on fixing, but I'll leave it to someone more in the know to provide more details - just thought I'd let you know that the staff are aware of it.   ;  I've been having problems too. I found that flushing the dsn cache often fixes my problems. I don't know if you'll have the same luck, but try closing your browser then run "ipconfig /flushdns"   ;  Same problems here, though mostly I can go weeks with no problems but then in one day -- today for example -- the poor site bugs out no matter where I access it from -- OS X (10.4.6), XP SP2 -- different browsers on each, flush DNS -- no difference. So, I guess all anyone can do is hope the staff have some way of rectifying this problem, or life is going to be very frustrating around here :(~Shiny.   ;  I just wanted to add that I just started getting the same problem yesterday while trying to post and it continues today. Very strange indeed since I've never had this problem before with the forums and or any other website for that matter?Hopefully they'll get it working before I get frustrated just trying to check my posts...   ;  This has been addressed at least a half dozen times by the staff in the last two days, I think. Yes, it's a GameDev problem, and yes, it's being worked on. In the meantime, we just have to be more patient during certain hours, really.   ;  I'll accept all responsibility. This is one of the two main sites that I visit day-to-day, and both are currently having similar types of problems. Coincidence?
