uhm, it looks like it crashed as I was typing it was fixed. Did anybody notice downtime just a couple of minutes ago? was there a message?

The only way to do this would be to remove the "invisible" ability for everybody. That would not be fair to the registered users. I can remove the ability for just the mods but it would not be fair to promote somebody to mod yet take away abilities.

It has been a tough week and a half. Keep in mind that the last time we had traffic like this (when The Killing Season aired) we were running not just the one server but 2 In other words 40 cores of processor (80 threads) 8 512GB SSD drives (these are the super fast hard drives) set in Raid 1+0...

Yes, all hiccups in the last 9 hours have just been me fine tuning. The server has held up very well today.

I can and have taken steps to discourage spam, but eliminating it completely will never happen. Done = removed

Things have calmed quite a bit but are not yet complete. I ask for your continued patience while we work to resolve the issues. Keep in mind traffic has tripled over the last 2 weeks. The optimization I have done in the last week has done a really good job at handling the increased load...

Search is temporarily down

It is not a problem with multiple users browsers. There is ANOTHER issue with the site that I am working on. Separate issues

it was rebooting

This is a problem with your safari Error: This webpage was reloaded because … - Apple Community

thank you, I do not need any further reports on this issue. Once I believe the optimization to be complete I will let y'all know, at that point I will be ready to listen to your experiences.

Traffic is getting insane right now, expect slow downs.
