Hi Folks,
We are going to have a hardware upgrade overnight. It is scheduled around 3am CST. We are currently using 16GBs of RAM on the dedicated server and we are using on average about 89% of our RAM. With spikes in traffic we have maxed out our RAM. So, in the very early morning hours of Nov. 11th we will be doubling our dedicated server RAM to 32GBs. It is estimated that the downtime to add the physical RAM to the server and make some checks will be about 30 minutes. But we should see a vastly improved performance on the server as a result. This of course increases the costs of the server, but we really need to do this.
So, this is a little heads up to late visitors to the site as well as visitors from around the world in different time zones. Please be patient and most of us won't miss a thing, but for those who do, it will be a minor downtime.
Thank you for understanding.
