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

  Also he was prepared for new users - the population of the site went up to about 30k in the first six years, and then 40k more accounts were made in the following six MONTHS. The site was doing fine until GJ lost email notifications and went to 10 icons with no warning, and over 5000 accounts were created here in less than 24 hours. That's pretty damn good considering the sites that aspiring people are trying to make at the moment (eg, CommieJournal) are falling over with accounts barely into five figures.
