Due to the continued influx of users to InsaneJournal and the generosity of those supporting the site with both advertising and Self-Committed and Permanently Insane accounts, we are going to be expanding the server capacity of the site. We have just ordered two additional webservers to sit in front of the current server we have now.

This will have the affect of making sure that we can handle the load of userpics and help the site run quickly and responsively even under the busiest hours. While this is going to further increase the amount of money it costs to run the site, all of the users here have made it possible for InsaneJournal to be able to expand at the rapid pace we are currently seeing.

We hope to be able to bring these new servers online over the weekend. We will keep you posted right here in [info]announcements for any updates.

    Wow! You totally rock, Squeaky. I'm going to buy some more perm accounts in about two weeks or so once I'm "liquid" again, because IJ is the best place on Earth to blog.

    Oh, it's wonderful to watch the site grow! If this continues, soon one will feel as one of the 'old' ones over here. Great to see that you -again- are taking precautions so IJ can run smoothly.

    Happy New Year to you and the family, btw.

    That's awesome -- it's been so great watching IJ grow, and I've only been here since June! I hope the expansion goes smoothly for you.

    Thank you so much for letting us know. I've not been on IJ long, but I'm already unendingly impressed with your work on the site and can't thank you enough for looking out for your users the way you do.

    Some day when I have my 5000 icons up, I'll appreciate the money I spent here!

    IJ is the rockiness!!

    Great news! I just bought a permanent account myself, since I like it here so much. I hope you can fix the code and allow video embedding. That's the main issue I'm having. I would also appreciate being able to mouse over user names to get the option to view the profile and journal or add the user as a friend.

    I don't know if this is the place to mention those issues of mine, but mostly I think you're doing a great job and I'm glad my permanent account is helping.

    Yea! I'm so happy to see this site growing. Why wouldn't everyone want to come to the best site? At least, that's how I feel. I'm glad the community has been able to support IJ enough to handle the growth. Speaking for me and my friends, we are so happy here at IJ.

    In the interest of planning my paycheck for the next few weeks, when will prices be going up and how much? XD;

    ^_^ Squeaky is the best. ^_^

    I also got my permanent account a few days ago thanks to my brother and his PayPal. ^_^

    Normally I wouldn't even think of shelling out for something like a blogging site, but you run such a great site, Squeaky, you deserve it. ^_^

    Keep up the great work!

    Squeaky, I cannot tell you enough how very awesome you are. I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and that the New Year fulfills all your wishes.

    Eventually I'm going to be purchasing a permanent account. I'm surprised that so many people have come over. GreatestJournal used to have 2000 icons and I suppose that's what made them lose all of their features like picture hosting and all that other jazz when they have perfectly good websites like ImageShack. You must be excited though about all the people but at the same time I hope people don't abuse your bw. So far I've seen great dissatisfaction with GreatestJournal and LiveJournal but I'm most comfortable here and being insane. It is, however, a sane choice to join you. I cant help but to smile when I see your username, too. It's friendly and familiar -- like a rubber ducky. Or a mouse minus scaring people. :|

    You are doing better than LiveJourbal though. Congratulations on your success, Squeaky. It's a pleasure being here.

    I'm sure 2008 will be a blast for you. Happy (Early) New Year.

    [I wouldn't be surprised if people started commenting with "FIRST! Hah, I am cool." They do that everywhere just to show how retarded they are. "H'yup." I'm sure you're going to love that if they're not already doing it already. And pretty soon you're going to be seeking Chuck Norris as a bodyguard.]

    You're buying more servers so I can have more icons, aren't you?

    You are the sunshine of my life.

    Hooray! I'm just so impressed with how hard you're working to keep us happy, now that we've all wandered into the asylum and are sharing our brand of the crazy with you. ;)

    Thank you again for all your hard work, and especially for keeping your customers apprised of events. I wish you continued success in the coming year -- and happiness, too.

    *applauds!*

    I won't have any spare cash until the end of February, I have an 11 year old male money pit that CANT go back to school in THOSE clothes, but soon as I can I will be contributing to the cost of the new servers!

    You're wonderful and IJ is wonderful. Congrats on the influx of new users and thanks again for all the open communication; it makes so much difference and is a large part of why I love IJ so much.
