Before you go to eBay …

@barnee I doubt that it is something on your end. I am regularly experiencing this, getting “temporarily unavailable due to heavy load” messages almost every day.
It’s not only bound to the login but to the access to the forum in general.

@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.

@Midnight_Reaper I’m good, thanks for asking. The holiday season was just very busy. I also got knocked out by some non-COVID cold in October.

@barnee Thanks, it worked

Okay, I think some of these issues are database related and because I didn’t write the crappy forums software, there’s not much I can do about it.

There are a lot of posts in the system so the search query takes a very long time. If you do the same search after you see the 404, the result should come up quickly because the query eventually finished (after the browser timed-out) and was cached.

Try using Google:
“site:www.axisandallies.org Anniversary strategy japan”

How irritating; I didn’t bother to check the dates, because the topic was listed as “new.” Evidently the site is attempting to make me look like a fool :P.
