Can anyone explain to me why, once in a while, after I have signed in and have played a few games...suddenly I will get a page that says in bold letters FORBIDDEN...and a bunch of other nonsense.  I back out...try again for a game of choice...and sometimes, usually, I'll get the game I want, but occasionally... I get that FORBIDDEN page again.  So what's the story???

What is this FORBIDDEN page???? Anyone???  :o :o :o

peace...Lee (aka tokjct) :P

You're not alone...I've experienced that a lot lately in the Arcade, and so have others. Chucky's been looking into the issue.

I too get the Forbidden error.  If I switch to Firefox, I still sometimes get the error, but for some reason there's a good chance that I won't see it quite as often

I haven't received that error in quite some time, but then again I've barely played the arcade in the past month.  :-\\

I just checked the error log, and the arcade has logged 148,241 pages of errors since I wiped it around six weeks ago. Every time a game is played (or perhaps even clicked on) it generates 5 errors per user.

That's over 2.2 million errors generated in 6 weeks, or 2200 errors per hour. I'd say something isn't right...

I'd say so too. Something is definitely wrong with this picture. An "error" shouldn't be generated everytime someone clicks on a game, that makes absolutely no sense (or dollars) to me. ::)

I've barely played it in the past couple weeks myself. Not because of the error nonsense, but because I've been concentrating on my studies and have more finals coming up.

C'mon, where's that competition :\'(

I haven't been playing the arcade that much because of the forbidden message. I've been reading
post that say it isn't happening that often so I ventured into the arcade only to be barraged by that
damn "FORBIDDEN." It took me ten minutes just to get back to the boards. >:(

Same here, I haven't played at all for ages.

I wonder if that's what contributed to the board running slow for me earlier today. :-\\

Whenever I see those FORBIDDEN errors, I switch to Firefox (which I hate to have to do, cause Firefox sucks) and the arcade works ok

I don't get a chance to use Firefox very much. Only on certain public computers.

I'm taking an indefinite leave from the arcade here.

Your kiddin' me, right?  :-\\  Why's that? ???

No kidding. It's mainly due to me having other more important things to attend to these days.

I'll be moving inthe00s to a new server next week hopefully.  that should clean up the 403 forbidden errors.

The other errors in the logs are due to problems with the arcade script, they've always been there and can be ignored.
