I'm sure a lot of you noticed that we were down off and on Sunday.

First off, I'm very sorry about the hassle. Optimizing high traffic web servers is tricky business, and I'm no expert on it.

I made some changes that I was hoping would improve things, but in the process, I broke some things that were previously working.

Anyway, the server is back up now, and hopefully it is running better, ut we'll have to wait and see how it performs during peak hours.

Expect more periodic outages over the next few days. Hopefully none will be as long as Sunday's but, it's tough to predict how these things will go.

As always, we appreciate your patience.

I think it is getting better, right now there are 95 people logged on, sleuth is slow, but not as bad as it has been. Hopefully all of the new people will stick around. More detectives, more agencies, more competition, and more subscriptions = more nice things for us.

Alright, I think this phase of optimization is over. We've gotten about a Two-fold decrease in average load times, so I'm going to give the server a rest for a little while. That means not as much intentional downtime over the next few weeks.
