    Downtime

    Every since we got the new server it has been fast, but it'd crash fairly frequently. I finally got the datacenter to replace the memory on it today, since that was the likely cause. So that explains the downtime earlier today and hopefully the frequent crashes will stop.

    Here's hoping that the issue was memory-related.

    And thanks for updating us on the matter. A lot of forums and other services don't do that, which I think is wrong as you as a user end up thinking that no one is doing anything for the issue.

    Indeed. Thank you Chris. Let's hope you nailed the root cause.

    In the middle of the night today (in the day for some of you folks over in Europe), the server will be going down for around 30m for a planned update (doubling the ram from 4g to 8g). Just a little FYI.
