Forum been unreliable recently?
Just about every time I Poly, I encounter a short service outage about a couple minutes long when the forum pages just won't load. What's going on?

Yeah, it's really annoying at times... like when you are about to submit a long post... and suddenly... bzzt.

It goes out so often

If you are submitting long posts you should prepare them in a good text editor (like emacs) where you have real editing capabilities and can view the entire post at once. That way you will not lose long posts.

On the long ones that I don't prep in an editor, I'll copy it to the buffer right before submitting, just in case.

I generally tried to use Rah's method, but it took too much effort. So I went with Spikey's method and installed Opera.

say, what degree of redundancy does Settler II have, if any at all, and who fixes things when it stops working? The little bananas?

Tiring out a computer is usualy hard but Settler II has to keep track of the OT.

As I said in a different thread:
Only solutions that decrease either the length or number of connections will help.
