Anyone Getting a 503 error today 7-14-2010 @ 5:02pm US EST

Service Unavailable
This server is temporarily unable to service requests.(Internal-Reason: 132)


I have been consistently getting an error while trying to get access to ATS just now. I gave up and just now came back and was finally able to acess ATS. Though I still get the 503 error whenever I try to change into other boards.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I am using Comcast ISP in the North easter US corridor.

Yeah, it would not let me past the home page a few minutes ago. Then I got it when I clicked on your post. I just keep refreshing til the page finally pops up, but it is really annoying!


Edit to add: It is also making my browser look really weird.

Yes. Same here.

Has happened 3 times now as I've clicked around the site.

Yea its real weird, I had to keep clicking refresh also to access the page.

Hmm, is ATS being hacked? Did last nights Mustang story bring this about?

Well the ping times to www.abovetopsecret.com seem completely normal, so it doesn't look like a massive spike of traffic causing the issues, probably just some server retardation or the like.

Hello there,
It also took me several tries to get in. I am not able to input anything in the search box either...too weird!

Yep. Still getting it now, too.

I'm getting the same thing here, its happened about 6 times now, hope this gets worked out.

Peace to you...

Me too. Maybe denial of sevice attack?

So my case isn't isolated, I thought I had a virus on this comp. My browser is a lil messed up, big fonts and blurry text/images.

Yes, same error here, over and over, just this last half hour. I'm in the UK if that's any use in figuring out the fault. This error has stopped me making a couple of posts and navigating fwds/bckwds ...unusual?

Some one feed the hamsters!

Yhea I've had it a few times, nothing on the wider web though, it's prob the servers where ATS is hosted having a little flap. Maybe some maintenance?

I am getting the same problem can’t get on ATS most of the time.
Cannot open any threads.

i tried to google it and i got this:Re: recieving error: Serivce Unavailable Internal-Reason 132
IIS does not send such response text, and if you see no evidence of the 500
in the web server logs, then something else between the client and server is
sending that response.

I got about 10 of them

using comcast in berkeley california

happening to me in montana and im on century tel isp so its not just comcast is something shady afoot? ill check back for updates

Im glad you asked, now I know its not just with my computer

This happens from time to time. The Boss will be on this shortly if he isn't already.
