Just a heads up.. the last few days the site has been extremely slow and times out a lot, especially near the top of each hour... it's actually caused me to peak out at 400 a few times because of it :(

. Today I got an error

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /var/www/vhosts/fantasymarchingarts.com/htdocs/classes/controller.php on line 9
Unable to select database

Same happens for me. I thought maybe it was just the University's pipeline being clogged with everyone being on due to finals even though other sites worked fine. I just try to remain persistent in trying to get all my times in though still.

Oh, I know for a fact that my University's internet is pretty bad this week (as I know other people that have been having problems with other sites) but it gets really bad on FMA. The bad acting slow and funny is how I ended up with -5 skill points yesterday. haha

Same here. It happened to me a bit during the last week of season 4 as well. Is there a way to fix this?

Donate lots of money so that Alex can buy a better server ;)

He's got a dedicated cloud server I believe.

This is mostly being caused by the stats and rankings queries. There are now thousands of results that take lots of memory and processing power to fetch using some of the more complex stats. I am going to try to optimize this process. Worse case scenario, I have to disable a couple stats but I hope it doesn't come to that.
