Site Down

The site was down for a few minutes this evening. I noticed some slowness due to the growth, so I brought a second webserver online. I also took that opportunity to perform some database maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience, but this should help the site run faster and more reliably than ever.

Also, in the future, if you ever want an update to the site if it's not working, we post all known outages over at our twitter page. http://www.twitter.com/insanejournal

No problem. We just had our biggest account spike ever so it's totally understandable. :P

I left a note for you on my journal but your f-list might be flooded - how are the servers doing in general? I can perminate another account if it would help any.

Just a head's up? The anti-spam image thing on create.bml is showing as a broken image no matter how much I refresh and no news is showing up on the main page.

o_o Wow. I for one appreciate that you're taking the time to do what you said you would - bring in more servers for overflow. And I've been constantly pleased by your honesty about things.

So, thank you! :D

This post alone makes me feel way better about all the moves that I'm going to be doing. Most of my RPGs are moving over here and I already feel way better about things than I did over on GJ.

Thank you.

I just have to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Not only do you keep us informed of what's going on, you all are so on top of things it just blows my mind.

I have definitely found my new journaling home, hands down, and as soon as I get money (read: bought my daughter's holiday gifts) I am most DEFINITELY donating money to this site.

Lmao wow, you're great. We still haven't heard anything from GJ's ~system & it's been a few days now since things have been disappearing. I noticed IJ was down for a bit, but then I come back & it's working, & there's an automatic update saying exactly what went on. Amazing.

I'm really impressed with the fact that this site communicates with its users, but a lot LESS impressed by the fact that the nearly 400 icons I uploaded for my rpg journals today -- which took me hours because I'm on dial up -- have now ALL disappeared. :| General frowny face.

Wow, good for you, Squeak. You make people feel at home and then you pull the rug out from under them by not fixing broken icon links and not preparing for the influx of new users before it even happened. Congratulations on making a near-perfect gj clone. At least you reply to comments that your users leave. That's a start.

I don't wanna be annoying and restate this, but as it seems to be a problem as well... Comments in an RP journal of mine have disappeared.

Thank you so much for keeping us informed~ I really appreciate the work you've been doing.
