We've just received the word from our system admin. The database error page or time out error we're encountering is due to high server load caused by some IP addresses which use extremely high server resources. Mostly by bogus IP addresses or proxies. This kind of attack to the server which primary aim is to cause high server load is pretty common. We'll just have to block them. And that's what we did, we've blocked these IP addresses.

If you know someone who can't connect to Symbianize at any time of the day please let us know. His/her IP address might be unintentionally included from the blocked list.

Please be advised that we've also temporarily disabled some features of the site like the 10 latest posts shown in the forum index page to lessen the server load.
