just throw all the 0 post members away and all the trouble is gone. make a topic in which every 0 post member has got to post. If he/she doesn't post he/she shall be deleted.
i guess the server was down because the database got an overflow error which was caused by too many members,You go ahead and do that, but what do they have to do with GBATemp going down?Â
ok, let's do thatYou go ahead and do that, but what do they have to do with GBATemp going down?Â
I got that error many times, a simple refresh doesn't work so i have got to make homework or something for half an hour untill gbatemp works again.Ummm.... that error message says "could not find database".
0-post user accounts have nothing to do with that.
And since you're obviously posting now you got around the issue, did you not?

I believe the important line is the first one:Ummm.... that error message says "could not find database".
I didn't notice that line, though I should have. You're right that the server, just like any other, can only take so many connections at once. Still, my arguments hold.I believe the important line is the first one:
"Too many connections..."
It seems that the SQL server can't handle anything above a certain amount of requests at the same time, that's why refreshing helps.
However, during the past two or three days I've had difficulties loading the website as well, sometimes it took me a couple of refreshs and a loading time of over 3 minutes to see the main page.
