Official "Slow Down" error thread - Updated Sept. 11

[Mage Fai D Flourite]

I've gotten this message three times in the past week. I am a legitimate user, and I am not a bot. Normally, I am not a heavy-user, but these past few days I have been more active than usual, although I don't think I've been fast enough to warrent these messages. Nonetheless...

The first time I got it was on Thursday the 19th of November, somewhere around two in the afternoon Eastern time. The second time I got it was Sunday the 22nd of November at about Midnight. The third time was on Sunday the 22nd of November at seven around p.m.

It always seems to happen when I'm on the forums. Even though I've taken to deliberately counting out about ten seconds between each time I click to a new page.

I use Internet Explorer - 7, and the only add-on I currently have is the Gaia Toolbar. No Skype or anything else like that.

I apologize, but I don't have any URL's to give you. If it happens again I'll be more than happy to give you them.

All I know is that this has never happened to me before on Gaia, that I am a legitimate user, and that I'm trying my best to not go to fast, and yet I'm getting this anyway. I hope that the problem is resolved. I don't want to be banned for simply loading pages.

I recently encountered a problem with even just loading gaia with my usual server (I`m on a proxy without javascript right now), and since this morning, I have been getting the “slow down buddy” error page a lot

to top that off, I just got the error page again half an hour ago, which didn’t let me in until now.

I use firefox, and my add-ons are ad-block plus, aim toolbar, Microsoft.net framework assistant, and the tektek.org gaiaonline toolbar.

; A ; I`m also definitely a fully legitimate user. orz

I do not know, but so far no one has ever bumped my aquarium, i may be in some kinda glitch as well...

[Heart_Monkey]

I am legitimate user. I got the same message today. I was browsing in the Aquarium Forums and suddenly the message shows up and logged me out. It happened on Saturday, December 12, 2009. At 11:15 am. I have seen this message once today. Well, I usually take my time for the page to load. But it only happens when I play booty grab or going to one.
I used Internet Exploxer 7.

EDIT: It's also happen again today. I used Internet Exploxer 7 again.
(December 26, 2009, Saturday at 10:52 pm) I forgot again to copy down the url)
It logged me out when I was browsing Aquarium Forums after I played booy grab. It's also happen to me on December 30, 2009 around 11:30 pm.

[Kabuki Kyoshiro]

Windows XP, Firefox/3.5.5

Odd thing was it didn't affect anything but the avatar screen. The rest of the site worked fine after that.

[o-LiveLaughLove-o]

I've gotten this for the Fifth or Sixth time. And its all happened while browsing the Barton town fourms and the Freebie Art Fourms. The first time it Happened somewhere in November. I'm sorry, I don't have that great of a memory.

I finally got fed up with it now so..Yeah,

I use Internet Explorer 8, Windows XP

It happened around 5:30AM PST 12/22.

It takes Twenty minutes for me to regain full access of my account again.

[Soundless Wind]

[Kyles_Coldplay]

There is a problem at Skin Tyte. When I go to "Buy Tattoos", it says "This Exchange Is Currently Disabled". Do you think there could be a solution to this matter?

[Sweetest Sacrifice]

Justdid it to me like 9:00(20 mins ago) today...and gaia is being a b***** and closing all of my windows down

Paper Sheeps

So are people actually having their trading passes disabled because of this?

yes, my trading pass has been disabled because of this! mad

[Sora o Kuria]

How come zOMg has so many problems? i know its a beta, but this is ridiculous. i enjoy playing it, but half the time i cant even walk. or i get stuck somewhere or the game just keeps freezing. Other times its that i cant even hit the animated while they can hit me. And this is the part that irritates me off the most, is that some times, the rings dont even work at all. I click and nothing. Are they fixing this anytime soon?

[ViNTAGE___dilema]

UGH. This has been happening to me for the longest!
Since I came back to Gaia, I've been suspected of 'botting' about three times a week.
I used to think it was just me browsing too much, but then when I slowed down, it would still catch me in the act of 'botting'.
Happens pretty much everywhere I go. Marketplace, Games, Forums. . .
I came back around. . . September of 2009.

The latest it has happened was yesterday night, around 8 o`clock PST.
Thankfully, I saved the URL.

It used to take about twenty minutes, or restarting my computer to have the problem fixed,
But now it's taking hours.
It's honestly annoying, and I want to know what to do about it before my things get taken away/I get banned.

It happened to me twice and I was like.... crying crying crying
