This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

500 Server Errors

I keep getting 500 errors when replying to threads. The posts go through ok, so it might just be random internet hiccups associated with the move.

I'll reply to this to let you know if I also got it when creating a new thread.

I've noticed the site is running more slowly since the switch to the new server / forum.  Maybe there's some cacheing that needs to be tweaked?  Or maybe some spiders / spambots that need to be told to piss off? :)

I have to ask, who is hosting the server? They need to get on the stick and look into this. Blech! Slow downs are my biggest issue. Pages will hang waiting for a response from the server. It seems worse when I am logged in...mostly.

Whenst clicking on a "last post" while logged out:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Fast and friendly so far. Which is good, because rpg.net was also having issues, and Enworld wasn't moving fast enough to keep me entertained. :)

rpg.net is running slower then dogshit today.  It's almost unusable.

It's possible that the two incidents are connected.
