FINAL DETAILS:

Ok we have acquired the new server. The entire LG15 website will be shut down sunday at 2 AM CST/3 AM EST/6:30 PM Buggar Time. There is a possibility for a 24 hour downtime all day sunday. Normal operations will continue monday morning.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding

UPDATE:

The new server will be ready sometime in the next 72 hours. Once we acquire the server, we will announce a scheduled downtime for the server move. Meanwhile, we have acquired a temporary upgrade on our current hardware that might help the situation for now. During the next 72 hours, downtime is possible if resource usage skyrockets again. Please bare with us and continue to visit our site.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

Everyone has probably noticed that the website, forums, and lgpedia have been running rather slowly lately. Earlier we had a period of complete downtime as well.

I am aware of this issue. It is caused because of the huge amount of resources we are using. We have simply outgrown our current server.

We have already located a new server and are working to acquire it. There will be a planned downtime starting late tonight. The good news is that once we execute the server move, everything will become much faster than it ever was before.

I will post more details as soon as I receive them.

Thank you for your understanding, we hope all of you will continue to come to this site and watch the series.

StarLady, you're going to have an important role in this transition too; you're going to have to be his rock through all of this. :)

Both of you, keep up the good work!

Thanks so much, Jerry! 8)

I'm not a computer smartie or anything, but is there anything we can do to help not put so much stress on the server?
