I think it is time to get out the back-up tapes and restore the old site. Saturday afternoon traffic did more than bring the site to its knees, it toppled the giant. Either the server hardware or the software isn't up to the task of a site this busy. For over an hour, I couldn't get more than 1 or 2 screens deep before the system errored out. I got one of the following four error messages each time. If you are trying to debug the system I hope this helps.
