Hey all. First, off I want to apoligize for the unexpected downtime. Basically what it came down to is the site had too many modifications and add-ons for the current server we are on. Things like the shoutbox and the arcade were causing really slow sql queries which was pushing the server over the edge.

My options were a.) upgrade to a dedicated server for much, much more money a month or b.) remove the items slowing things down.

I try to keep this site as advertisement free as possible and in return I put more money into this site then I get back so at the moment upgrading to an overly powerful dedicated server is not an option.

Our current server is plenty good and will support us for a while to come and I want everyone to know that this was not a bandwith issue whatsoever. This site is optimized and ready to handle plenty of traffic and posting just not ready for all the demands of all the add ons. It just came down to what was really important here and IMO the forums being up and running smoothly and efficiently is the most important part.

Also I'd like to point out that we did not lose any data from the downtime. So all your posts, threads, reps, etc, should still be intact.

Also I took the time to properly configure the other skin "mechanical - fluid" to run properly so I have turned the option to select it back on.

If you have any urgent issues feel free to PM me and I will investigate.

I was all screwed up. But it gave me time to focus on building my other website, to think about my pupose in life, to enjoy the morning dew on the flower pedals,...................oh, and to get in touch with my feminine side.
