Site is unbearably slow.

We're up to around 1000 to 1100 users on pretty much the entire day, and I know it'll be more once we get performance back up to where its supposed to be.. We better plan ahead! Trending Topics

BTW - an additional server has been ordered, and will hopefully be installed in the rack soon. They have told me 24 hours if they can get the hardware in quickly enough. They need time to build the drive array, install the operating system, and do the initial setup. Then it goes in the rack, and then I need some time to configure everything and go live with it. I'm hoping we'll be rocking by the Sunday night slam (typically a very heavy activity period for us).
Just a little more patience, folks! And again, thanks for being understanding
Thanks again guys.

I've heard that the entire site content was lost due to the owner not paying the bills for a couple months, and the hosting firm wiping the server clean -- and they had no off-site backups

I've also heard they might be up and running again at some point.
So, truthfully, there's probably nobody that truly knows right now.

Last couple of nights I was beginning to think that I was going to have to send my 8 yr. old "hot-rodded" Mac to the bone yard. Glad to know that I won't. And, "Thanks!" for upgrading an already incredibly kick-*** site.
Now its going to take a while for configuration, so be prepared for some funky ups and downs. I'm going to need a half hour or so of downtime to move data around, but I'll try to do that in an "off" period as to least affect everyone.
