This is what I just e-mailed the webmaster
(I suggest everyone copies this message and keeps e-mailing him/her with it whenever you get a 500 Internal Server Error):
Dear Webmaster,
I am a fan of the 'NMA - Fallout' forums and I keep getting this message whenever I try to visit the site:
http://www.nma-fallout.com/cgi-bin/forum/index.cgi?az=list&forum=ForumID5&archive=
500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator,
webmaster@worldchat.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Could you fix whatever it is please? I know there are other people who have the same problem. Here is what they say:

Ah, a bright moment.
Can somebody please do something about this. It seems to get worse every week. For an old timer who knows how great this board is, it's annoying. But for a newcommer who might be interested in visiting, it's a sure way to push them away. And besides, it's pissing me off.

4. "Here's what everyone does:"
I've been logging the amount of Perl usage from this site alone, through hits and a few other things. It's really nothing, comparatively. We have a few visitors on at a time in our message boards, and our page hits while being about par with Gamestats itself - still isn't anything too severe.
What you do is *nicely* email the addy you find in that error message (webmaster@worldchat.com, I think - might want to check), and ask them to look into their Perl/CGI setup since it seems to be popping up with numerous script-unrelated errors.
In the meantime, if you have a problem posting, in IE you can just hit refresh at that error screen and it will try to resubmit your message, then hit "Ok" to resubmit.
Sorry guys, this is the only solution I can come up with for the present time.

If I emailed the addy of the server problems i'll be here all day. For me it seems to happen every other page, even when trying to post this note lol

It is pretty good at night (my night, GMT -7hrs), but during the day it really sucks. I have to keep pressing refresh, or use the back button and click the submit button again.
