There was a bit of downtime this afternoon due to an outage at our hosting provider. Just wanted to let everyone know that we were on top of it and fully aware. Everything is back up at this time.

Also just to let everyone know, we are now doing daily backups of the databases on the site so we can handle any catastrophe. Unfortunately these backups cause about 15 minutes of downtime each day. Right now we are scheduling the backups at 2:30PM (Eastern/US). This will switch to 3:30PM once Daylight Savings ends. We are looking into ways to do this with less user impact.

    They're definitely an annoyance, but users using AdBlock is probably the reason IJ has switched to text ads that are much more difficult to block. What's free for you has to be paid for some way, and paid accounts don't bring in enough money in themselves.

      Agreed. The website is free to use (and boy, do we use it), but it's not free to maintain.
