unable to open some forums

I tried opening the primitive weapons forum and it would not open. I tried others. Some opened others would not. Any ideas?

I just surfed the forums and no problem opening them. Every so often I get a message that the server is busy etc but that does not last long.

As we get more and more traffic it places more of a load on the physical computer running this website. We share a computer with I think its, 3 more websites. If we continue to get computer related issues I can request they move us to a machine with less resources. If we were a mega site with thousands of users all accessing things we would either have a dedicated machine or actually several machines running things.

At the moment according to my logs, we run into issues only a couple times a day. While temporarily annoying, its a good sign that we are growing... and its also fixable.

I know about the problem and am watching it.
