As you noticed we crashed quite a few times over the last few weeks. It has been a problem in PHP, the programming language our forum (and wiki, and most everything else we use) is programmed in. Gentoo Linux released a new version of PHP last night. I upgraded to it. It seems all the problems on the backend that were causing crashes are now gone.
I want everybody to dogpile on the server tonight at exactly 7:30 PM eastern. That's 6:30 PM central, 5:30 PM Mtn, 4:30 PM Pacific. I want you to be a horde of refresh whoring, high volume posting, fanatics. Let's beat the hell out of this thing and make sure once and for all it's fixed.
