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.

    OH MY GOD.

    I LOVE YOU, IJ!


    Seriously, thank you so much for taking such good care of us!

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's sounds really good Squeaky!!!!!! You're doing a GREAT job and a lot of KUDOS to you!!!!!! I am still pumping my LJ Friends to come here.

    Anyway, I have a question for you. I'm wondering if you have that particular "layout design" here called Smooth Sailing. I want to embed a customize layout but I think it needs that particular design (Smooth Sailing) in order for it to work.

    Thanks in advance for all your time answering questions.
    Again, thank you for all your HARD work. I do appreciate it.

    Now this is the sign of a good maintainer! Keep up the good work Squeaky. I can't begin to express how impressed I am with the quality of not only the site itself but the character of the man (and his wife) who run and maintain it.

    I'm glad that I moved here from Greatest Journal. Thank you.

    Out of all journal sites that I've used and am currently still using, IJ has been, by far, the most direct and up-front with their users regarding issues, upgrades and other site-related news. And I've only been here for about a month as a refugee from GJ. It's also very nice to know that the donations and money given through journal purchases are going to better the site. Your hardwork is greatly appreciated.

    I hope the money keeps rolling in for you making the buying of the new servers worthwhile, though GJ and LJ do seem to be doing their best to help you in that regard.

    I still plan to buy the perm accounts I mentioned before and show my support the second I get my financial aid next month (The 15th of the month) Because this site is addictive! I've already made a bunch of entries and I can't wait to help out. :)

    I'm so happy to see an admin that communicates with his uers, you have no idea. Thank you!

    OMG...purchasing new servers ahead of the need? YOU ROCK!!

    Thanks for paying attention to the needs of your ever-growing base of users. It's the care and attentiveness here that has made me feel so at home.

    Does this mean that prices for things might or definitely will go up for things here on InsaneJournal in the future?

    I love the fact that you're purchasing and setting up new servers before there's an urgent need for them. But I do have a question for you. Do you think there's a possibility of the same s1 layout problems that happened last time happening again?

    Good luck. Hope that we can keep those servers funded even when the influx drops off and things get normal in bloggers land again.

    Squeaky - you are awesome! This is great news and happy to have contributed to getting these new servers. :) Rock on!

    Huzzah!!! That's awesome! Honestly i'm more thrilled by the influx of new years at the moment since it means they're finally realising how AWESOME iJ is.

    Then again, more servers equals more awesomeness.

    You rock. Don't change.

    Well, thank you for having me here! Personally, once the thought police came into ownership of the competition - for which I had an account for several years - I ditched. You don't have to worry about it on IJ. Less drama, less idiots, less chicanery. So it's my pleasure! ^_^
