I have been getting "Server Busy" on and off for an hour and then ten minutes where I couldn't access the site.

Haven't had that at all, but a number of people are experiencing it. Hopefully it's just a glitch.

It's being looked into.

It was down for me too...wish there was a nicorette patch for boards. It'd come in handy for stuff like this.

Think it's time for boards.ie to invest in some Cisco firewalls.

Fixed seemingly:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=64147686&postcount=10
"Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

vBulletin has a feature where it will stop people doing stuff (with a server busy message) if the load on the webserver goes past a certain point. This feature didn't work in the past, but we never turned it off. Part of the process of getting the site back up and running on Friday involved upgrading vBulletin and that resuscitated the feature*.

Now, the garbled output you saw was almost certainly from stuff we wrote (like the front page) which doesn't expect the other parts of vBulletin to crap out. The output you saw was gzipped HTML or part of it at least.

* For the nerds: It changed 'if (PHP_OS == 'Linux') { ... }' to 'if (!$iswindows) { ... }'. We run FreeBSD so..."
