I rarely get that error message, but from time to time, the site takes forever to load a page. It's actually doing it to me right now, which is why I found this thread. At that point, I just log off for the night, not gonna spend 30 minutes doing what should take 5.

Been getting the same error message lately, last night for example exactly as you describe. Seems to occur when I'm on my laptop (wi-fi), but not on a wired pc, and usually around the same time in the evening. I've been blaming that comet doing the flyby of the earth ... but now I am not so sure?

I've been seeing this periodically throughout the day, as well as the site frequently getting super slow. Kind of kills my flow while adding cards to my collection.

Well, I got the "service unavailable" twice yesterday and first thing this morning. Is this the standard now? Hard to navigate the site. Tough to load cards, or even send proposals. Does anyone know the reason? Some say increase in members, others say sportlots pricing, but what's being done to get the site back to normal?
The NEW NORM?
Service Unavailable
HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to agree. I'm seeing this message more and more. It also usually takes 1-2 minutes to bring up a page for a particular card when you click into it (I started attempting to add pricing on my comc purchases but have stopped as it was taking way too long).
I've reported these problems to admin.

Same here. I'm not seeing the service unavailable message too often, but the site load times for pages is becoming a real issue. 2 to 3 minute waits, with one that took over 5 minutes were regular yesterday for me.

That and the 200% increase in ads. Spent the last 5 minutes trying to access my set I am working on. Does anyone know if I can pay a year in advance for a subscription? I am opting for a $5.00 monthly donation

This is normal now. This site needs to adjust to that. Since COVID hit, cards have been consistently in demand...it is not the "hot item of the week". It would be fair for everyone on this site to pay $25 dollars a year to be a member on this site...it would be worth it. No more ads and more improvements to be able to do things quicker would be awesome!

Got the double whammy today. Yesterday got the "service unavailable" twice. Today both of them:
Service Unavailable
HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable
Error
The page you attempted to view is temporarily unavailable. Please try again shortly.
If it still doesn't work, click here to let us know.
Just wondering if anyone knows of anything being done? Server upgrade? Back off the ads? Possibly charging current users, leading to a server upgrade? Eliminate "dead accounts" to free up space on current server?
If we're continuing to add new folks daily(which will happen), without "anything being done", it can only get worse.
