They have been having some sort of problem with their host for a while now. It has to do with capacity and only a certain amount of users can get in at one time so when it is busy you start getting the messages when you try to log in. They were working on getting it straightened out, but, apparently they haven't been able to come to an agreement with their server host yet.

Gotta agree with Mom ~~ Ken is the man who knows how to keep a website up & runnin all the time ~~ I sign-on to Tug every day & keep hearin their problems ~~ I never get their error code ~~ I have my own website (2) as well & I have no problems ~~ Tug just has complainers & whinners who most of the time don't know what they are talkin bout ~~ But that's Tug ~~ I'll be here for a very, very long time ~~ mostly because of the people here, their views that aren't critized & up-keep for this message board ~~ Keep it goin y'all ~~ Your the best ~~

I went over there last night to check on a PM I got and while checking the the 2 boards I usually look at, I got the server problem message. Now if they were only as tolerant of members as they are of poor server service.

I come here first and don't bother much with Tug any more. It's "same old same old". It's usually refreshing to not hear anything about Tug over here, but we get more Tug This and Tug That when they're having problems. Maybe RCI bought them and is scheduling daily maintenance now to serve you less better!

Go, Ken, Go! Thanks for making this a good (AND RELIABLE) place to come hang out and talk timeshare.

OTOH - nobody at TUG has ever insulted me for participating at TS4Ms.

I doubt that would ever happen. RCI has it's own website for discussion and reviews (RCI Community).

I thought they pulled the plug on Community? Or was it just Reviews?


can you tell I haven't even considered visiting to find out for myself?

I understand that they have problems with too many people online and all. But why would it dump the person who is already online??

I am in the middle of reading through the topics and all of a sudden I can't access it any longer. If there are too many people online why doesn't it stop others from logging in, rather than dropping those already on?

What the server is puking on is requests to extract and serve up pages, not requests to log on. When you get the busy server request, it's not logging you out or bumping you off, it's simply saying, "I won't process your request right now". In fact, if you have your cookies set properly, there isn't any process to log in or out; you simply submit your request for a page along with your cookie, and the server responds to that request (or not).

When I get the "server busy" notice, I usually just hit the back space (to return to where I was), and resubmit the request. If it still doesn't accept the request, I just open a new windor or new tab and browse somewhere else for awhile, then try TUG again later.
