  • Scheduling An Outage: Feb 6, 2011

    Related to the issues we've seen, we've determined we need to get more RAM put into the server. That's going to take about 20 minutes of downtime. We're scheduling it for Sunday, Feb 6, at 1:30am EST, and it should be over by 2am. That translates to the following times around the world:
    • 11:30pm, Feb 5, Edmonton, Canada
    • 1:30am. Feb 6, New York City, USA
    • 6:30am, Feb 6, London, England
    • 8:30am, Feb 6, Cape Town, South Africa
    • 4:30pm, Feb 6, Sydney, Australia


    Once we've done this upgrade, we should see noticeable improvements in the way the site performs. We apologize for the inconvenience. One of the dangers of splitting servers the way we have is underpowering one of them, and that's what happened here. At least fixing it is easy.

    RAM upgrade is now complete, the system is back to fully operational. Please let us know if you experience any problems from this point forward.
