Aventure Mail Error
There are currently too many users using the system. Please try again in a few minutes.

People are trying to one-up Google, forgetting that they don't have what Google does: $450 million in cash and extensive beta testing.

if google tested their systems really well they wouldn't be having problems on Orkut recently:
Site stability 5/20/2004

From Monday until Wednesday at 2pm Pacific Time, the site experienced a large amount of instability during peak usage hours. A short term fix has been implemented, but later this month we will be making more significant changes to the infrastructure of the site to increase its scalability to deal with the growing user base.

This will be hot when they get their act together. Just when that will occur remains to be seen.

No, but then again we don't need to know each and every spec of some people's multiple systems.

Wow, I was thinking the same thing! What is even more perplexing is that he/she must take the time to change it. WHY???

well, this thread is turning in to 'make fun of everyone's sig'

I can log into aventuremail, if anyone cares. Tried to send a email, and got this:

An error occured: The server encountered a problem while trying to send your message and could not complete the process.

Sent a email to aventuremail account, haven't received it yet.

Well, at least its getting better. So what if you can't send or receive emails?

Here is a pic of how it looks:

If you use Linux, this should look eerily familiar..

Oh, and when i logged out, i got this:

I signed up for the e-mail service today at 9 am EST. It seems to be working great. I sent a few test e-mails and no problems.
