we've noticed that this forum is overheating our entire site. slowtwitch already gets an awful lot of traffic, and this forum has recently exploded in terms of its own traffic. add to that the more complex script of our new forum and the whole thing is slowing down a bit.
so within a day or two we're going to stick a lot of additional RAM into our server, which we hope will keep the forum from bogging down, as it occasionally is doing. we're also going to take another look at the new forum script, and see if there's any functionality that is serving to be a memory hog, and which we ought to strip out.
thanks for your patience, and if the site's down sometime within the next day or two, it's because you're visiting while the box is out of the rack and having its new memory installed. come back in 15 or 20 minutes.
