If you are constantly getting that for specific pages, but not others on the site, clear your browser's cashe.
If it's happening everywhere on the site, then I guess you on't be reading this anyway...

Clearing the cache on Chrome has definitely helped with the 503's, thank you, but the site is still exceptionally slow I'm afraid.

I'm currently using IE and I've already cleared the cache and when I try to go to the Index page, I'm getting 503 every time. I've also notice some of the smaller alt pictures (the ones you see in the Registry) are broken, too.

A log wipe is a pretty standard way of speeding things up, they went back a good 6 or 7 years so there must have been thousands of them.
Sites been stable for me since so it looks like it may have worked.

Just wish it hadn't wiped out today's logs - I went to check how my team had done in their latest missions and there were no logs available, throws off my math, y'know?

Its why I called the tournament epilogue when I did. Agree it's a pain, but I'd rather have a game that runs.

If deleting mission logs helped, perhaps deleting 10 year old dead threads would help too. The SPL threads are still there. So are Maximal/Predacon wars from back before the last Great Reset.
If people are against wiping them for some reason, like I could see the RPG forum being, perhaps archiving locking and archiving them?

What's the problem with them exactly? They're sitting there doing nothing, they're not impacting on the site in any way.

I guess the concern was just in case they were contributing to the sites issues, as its still kinda slow and 503's still crop up (I've had a few today.)

nah, they're threads. The problem was a lot of function calls behind the scenes (something that would have nothing to do with inactive threads) and a bunch of log files growing tremendously large (not just the HMW ones, error ones etc)

Good. I enjoy going back over the old stuff and stealing my own ideas from back when I was still cool, and not old and grumpy.
Some of those old threads are golden.

Ah, ok. I thought they might be the same as the mission logs since I've run into a few 503s today.

The only 503 I am running into now is on the view team page. I cleared out the cashe on my computer and HMW does run a little faster. The page isn't really important but still nice to see what my team stats are at.

I don't know if this is what's happening for you or not but ... don't clear your cache on the 503 page.

IIRC, that causes a computer to load the 503 page into its cache instead of the team, registry, etc. page, but I'm not sure...
