More servers coming
With the issues continuing at the other sites we are seeing another surge in site usage. To combat this, I have just ordered another database server and another web server. Its going to take me awhile to get the new servers up and running, so please bear with us over the next day or two if the site is slow during the peak evening hours.
Edit: The new webserver is online. Still working on the database. It will take awhile because we are building it out as a new user cluster. And we are going to migrate 33% of the current users over to it.
Also, to help offset the costs we are incurring in getting these new servers set up, we are going to hold another Insane Userpics sale. We will be offering Insane Userpics. We are going to be offering this item at a higher price than the last time it was available. For the next 2 weeks, this item will be available for $150. This will give you 5,000 userpics for the life of your account.
This item will be on sale for only 2 weeks, and this is the last time in the foreseeable future that we are going to offer this item.

thanks for the update and fixing a minor issue before it becomes a huge problem (:
I'm up to 98.
Woot Woot.
I <3 you Squeaky and all you do for this site!!
Seriously, I am so glad you are addressing these issues in a prompt manner. You rock! InsaneJournal rocks!
You rule. But Insanejournal keeps eating my comments at its. Since this is an active RPG, comments are extremely important. Any idea why this is happening? It has only happened on its's character and application page thus far.
Much love. ♥
My Firefox browser uses my IJ friends page as its default/home page. However, I dont have many friends here on IJ so its not really necessary to check more than 1 time a day to see what friends posted new entries. With the potential slowness, would it be better for me to have a different homepage as a temporary measure or will that make no significant difference?

Thanks!
I can't log a support request to ask why I can't log on.
There's nothing in the news pages to indicate that you've taken notice of this problem.
WTF?

I have invited several people to IJ, and of course the first they notice is if there's a bit of lag or whatever else.
I bought the Insane Userpics a couple months ago. Only 4,819 more slots to fill!
