Icon6 Re: Servers under pressure?

I think our server host did some work and reset things again this morning to do some magic for us. Lynne did some pruning of inactive one-time only members from our database to trim some fat, and not to jinx it but things seem to be running a bit smoother to me.... Wish we had a fingers crossed emoji though! haha

I suppose that it's just another reminder that we're pushing old technology and outdated software to it's limits and stretching things pretty far beyond their projected capabilities and lifespan. We do need to keep going on the plans of redesigning the site on new warez to run a better version of what we can do now, but without the hiccups and server delays and crashes and other junk that this old stuff brings.

But, there's also been a ton of activity and requests on the server lately. Not sure if all of it has been legitimate or not - probably not. And of course, a flood of Ozzy / Black Sabbath torrents getting posted that helped to overwhelm things a bit. So, attacks aside, we should be good for now still, but, ultimately, something's gotta change, and probably sooner the better!
