Due to an unexpected surge in traffic the last couple of days another server upgrade is on the way. I tried installing patches and updates and all that jazz to fix the server with little success. I'm well aware that these occasional traffic spikes are temporary and traffic will come back down, but it's nice to be able to handle these little surges more gracefully.

Since we're not changing hosting companies the upgrade should go smoother than last time. As always, if you experience any issues please feel free to contact me directly via PM.

Quote of the Moment

I was worth about over a million dollars when I was twenty-three and over ten million dollars when I was twenty-four, and over a hundred million dollars when I was twenty-five and it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money.
