New Server
I have finished the site move to the new server. This is a HUGE moment for InsaneJournal. We are now on a new server that can handle easily triple or more the amount of users that we currently have. I am really excited and I hope you all are too. This was a lot of work. I'm sorry I had to have the site down for about 3 hours tonight to get this done. But it really needed to happen.
EDIT: There is a bug in the OpenID part of the code that I don't have the time to deal with tonight. I will look at it tomorrow. Basiacally you can't log in with OpenID and if someone comments in a post with openid it causes the comments page to throw an error. Sorry about that but I need some sleep as it's after midnight here and my brain isn't at 100%. I think I have gotten the rest of the bugs worked out. Feel free to report any more to http://www.insanejournal.com/suppor t/

I would like to modify that. "Squeaky/Customer Service = OTP"
Man, a new server and an apology for having the site down? You rock. That is all. (And as soon as I get the cash, Perm account. YES.)
I am really impressed with how well you keep up with the site and how good you are at keeping us informed about what is going on.
lemmingsfangirls is amazing. Also, it is such a nice thing that you rule the interwebs and the servers in such a nice way. A little downtime for this very nice improvement? Pffft!Fun thing is that it is already 'oh downtime? Squeaky is on the case' compared to over at LJ where one worried if they had 1) deleted one's journal, 2) broken the interwebs or 3) OMG!IncompetentSiteOwnersWTF!?
I hope you manage to sleep in between servicing the fen. ;0)
But anyway, motherly persona aside, thanks for everything you do! The site is working better than ever!
I only noticed the downtime because I was being insomniac at 4am. =_='
Keep up the good work!
Lightning-fast. This morning I fired up both GJ and IJ at the same time in 2 separate browser tabs. IJ started up, I logged in, loaded up my friends page, and had read 2 entries before GJ's front page finished loading.
Now... I wonder how long it will take us to get you moving to yet a bigger server? :)
