sometimes when i try loading up bored of studies it doesnt load up and sometimes says it timed out etc.. or sumtimes i just take ages and ages... does this mean the moderators are updating the website or sumthin?

The server gets overloaded...not much can be done, just be patient and eventually it will load.

i get that sometimes too.

it means that the server's very slow/down.

occasionally the admins will shut the forums down for maintenance, but you'd see the normal layout with a message, instead of the "cannot find server" page.

don't hammer (try to connect to the server repeatedly over a short period of time) either. it won't do you any good. just wait for a few minutes, and then try again.

Imagine the night/day results come out

When will the mods make a stickied topic on this? A new topic is made at least once a fortnight by someone talking about the bos server dieing. WE KNOW THAT THE SERVER GOES DOWN, STOP TELLING US.

lol dear you might've noticed that for some strange reason, many people can't see the stickied threads in the help section

anyway, i'll mention it to the supers

It should be in bold red letters under the bored banner...or a pop up on everypage

There needs to be popups in the relationships section with answers to the questions people ask over and over again. Well actually, then there would be no need for that section at all.

Yes, but you never know. You could make it something of a white lie, for example "If bos is not loading, you have a virus, read this to find out how to fix it"

Then in the thread tell them to stfu.
