Hi, for the past couple of weeks I have noticed that daniweb crashes when the traffic exceeds 4200 members online. It usually happens around a Thursday night Australian Eastern Standard Time and is real annoying at times since I need to wait for the next day to post.
I know it's not my internet because I can visit every other website and from the windows command prompt, most of the time I can ping daniweb.com with no problems. I suspect that daniweb just can't handle the 4200+ members during peak hour of the week. Just thought I would mention this and ask if anyone else has noticed the same problem.

Jump to PostI don't have the exact numbers, but you're right. Daniweb has been a "bit" hard to reach lately. Yesterday it was down for an hour (for me anyway), round 15:00 gmt+1

I think you are right ! Just when I thought it had nothing to do with the member count (which is 4663 right now), it started behaving strangely. Daniweb has become slow as a tortoise.
