I don't speak fluent sql error, but this looks similar to previous attacks.
The site is running very slow.
What is going on? >.>

Oh, I don't know how I missed that thread.
Well they look close to a solution.
Just curious, anyone know why this has become so frequent recently?
Increased users?
It's very late and I just got another

Why would this happen so late at night if it were user related.

Well I sit right in the middle of America, so I assume the majority of users users are moon-bathing right now...

Off-Topic:
But do you use a script to change your font color?
Or do it yourself each post?

Oh I see.. As for myself, I use GMT+7. So actually it's upside down.

Well, I type it manually , even when I want to quote someone, I just copy their post, but I type the (quote="Ace Coder") (/quote) myself. Hmm.. It seems the BBcode doesn't work perfectly on my OS.

Well... 10 hours left for the new years eve!

MySQL has a maximum number of connections it will serve at any one time. Also, it seems we did not get a private VPS from the current host. >_>

I just raised the connection limit from 20 to 30. If anyone notices the error happen again, please let me know (it would also help to know what date and time the error occurred).

I've rarely seen more than 2 connections being used at a time, let alone 20 or 30. The reason for having a limit at all is to provide an additional safety valve (among several others) to keep the server stable during extreme conditions such as a DOS attack.

AutoHotkey is currently hosted on a dedicated server, though there are a few smaller sites on it too. The load average is almost always under 0.15, which roughly corresponds to 15% of capacity.
