Have you double-checked the script this time? ;)
Causing another massive spam wave for nothing would seem like a true crime :p

Are these technical issues caused by our spamarama?

I checked the script a lot of time yesterday, and that error appeared only one time -.-' That should appear if there is sometingh wrong in the URL used, but URL is ok...

If there will be another problem (I hope not), I'll make a draw between the ones that posted here.

There are actually other possible reasons, such as DNS lookup issues.
Have you considered using the actual IP instead and thus avoiding all the DNS resolving trouble (and delay!) ;p

Damuna: By the time I posted, three more posts were there, inside the time limit, the third being yours.
Whichever way, it all comes down to whatever clock WrathOfTheAngels uses to check the thread.

Actually, there are even more factors involved on that one.
DNS lookup time, HTTP request latency,... that could very well take up to several hundred or even a thousand milliseconds, depending on the connection and the GoG server/ networking setup.
So, in the end, it's a rather blind guess after all.

True enough (everything you said).
Seems there's no flood of posts this time
