I love the Vbulletin message that now pops up when the site gets overloaded:
<i><b>I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain!</i></b><br>
The site is currently overloaded with traffic, so your session is being denied in an attempt to keep 'er from crashing entirely. The site can handle about 1,300 sessions at a time right now. Unfortunately you are not one of those 1,300, so please try again later.* Better luck next time!
In the meantime, maybe you could play some online poker... I hear it's a great way to win a lot of money.
* Please Note: "Try again later" does not mean "sit there mashing the 'reload' button 50 times a second" because if everyone does that, it' s just going to take that much longer for the load on the server to ease up.
