Okay, just so everyone knows what happened and what is going to happen. Yesterday I tried to bring the old IJ server up as a second webserver to help the load. There were some problems with libraries causing a lot of things to break. So I rolled the change back, unfortunately I had to clear out some S1 style customizations so some of your journals may look funny. If you go back to the customize page you should be able to reset all of your style options.

Today I just ordered a new server to move IJ to. This one has about 4x the horsepower are the current one, so it will help alleviate the load. We are going to be moving the site to the newer bigger server asap. We don't forsee any issues, but we do recommend that you backup any icons and keep note of any S1 customizations.

I want to thank EVERYONE for coming over here and having patience with our growing pains. If you talk to anyone who came over in the June/July migration, they will tell you that we had the same growing pains, but we were able to move to a bigger server and weather the storm.

    You can check http://www.insanejournal.com/stats/stats.txt for the raw statistics. I am hoping it goes smootly too.

    I am hoping that I will have time to work on the code and get it pushed out before the end of the month. If not, then it will be after the holidays. I am probably going to be having family coming into town that is going to set me back some.

            I am hoping it will happen later today. I am still waiting for the hosting company to release the server to me. Then I have to configure it.

      First of all - thanks for all the hard work!

      Second - I took a peak at that stats txt file. "newbyday" I suspect is statistics on how many new accounts gets registered that day, right? In that case - May 30 must have been a slight shock for you! *lol*

          I get this vision of you on a shrinks couch, all over worked and a nerve wreack, starting the session with:

          "...it was the end of May in 07.... that's the day it happened..."

          Hmm... would make a good movie.... *ROFLOL*
