SQL errors and the like. I ask because I recently installed a "Google Bar" on my browser and was wondering if that may be causing the problem.

Tons and tons of mysql errors. I get them often from Renderosity, but today its brutal.

Yup, MySQL errors. The Server(s) are having fits. Happens from time to time with computers when they're overloaded. To think, we put up with quality from computer service (of necessity, i might add) that we would never stand for if it were an automobile. Of course, computers are far more complex than cars, and have not been around for about 100 years.

It's probably not your Google bar or anything that a reboot could cure. Looks like Renderosity is getting slammed by script kiddies (kissin' cousins to our friends the warez kiddies.) People who use scripted auto-downloaders or site harvesters can create many hundreds of simultaneous connections (that each take up the space of an individual user) and max out a site's capacity. That's what's been happening here (that's why if you look at the "number of people online" in the upper right-hand corner, it will veer around wildly during these sql errors. Like, from 700+ people online to 1300+ within a few seconds.) Not an easy thing to combat. -nemo
