“Maintenance Derp.” That describes this perfectly.

It’s gotten better. It actually makes me nostalgic, remembering the days Ponibooru was still solely hosted on 413chan and could barely hold the weight of the bloating fandom.
 
*sniff* Halcyon days, those were.

Calm the heck down.

It’s not really a big mystery as to why we’ve had problems in the last couple of days. Ponies happened! All of a sudden we get large wave of activity brought on by the airing of the third season, and the more strain the site is under, the more stuff starts misbehaving. We’re doing the best we can to alleviate the issues. Hopefully you should see performance improve as time goes on, as we work out fixes and efficiency improvements and the initial rush dies down.

We are working on a solution to the error pages but these things take time to implement and change. There’ll be a news post up later. We’ve not abandoned you all.

It’s probably because of the premiere, the overdose of users, comments and pics

Yes, but I don’t see it as much of a big thing. Mods will do something, and if they can’t, we can adapt. Easy-peesy.

It is very annoying when that happens, especially when you are trying to post a long comment. You have to refresh and post again.

So it isn’t me? Yay!

Yeah. I have

I am getting the same thing, pal.

I’ve been having the same issues, dude.

I was about to say the situation isn’t as bad as it was yesterday, but I was immediately hit with the maintenance page trying to load THIS image.  
Talk about irony.

You’re not alone. It’s been happening for a week.  
In fact I just got one when trying to make this post.

Having issues over here too.

I’ve been having issues as well.

And 405 Not Allowed errors everywhere! Try to vote, the buttons get replaced with “Not allowed”, sometimes happens when trying to post a comment. Everything’s done with AJAX, so the code should at least try to do some error recovery.

Something 40

@BP  
you mean 405 errors? cause thats been happening to me on occasion.

It’s really, really hard to look at anything. It is a 2nd world problem

Happens to me too.

even 404s come up all the time

you aren’t the only one dude. It’s been happening to me too. probably a server error.
