the site seems to have been down all day. Any word when it'll be back up? Can we help?

They seem to be having server issues ... I expect that they're addressing the issues though and the site will be back to normal within a relatively short time (someone's likely gonna be on top of it/working on it I think it would be safe to guess; server issues can allegedly be a pain for many sites with heavy traffic)

Sorry about that, fellas. Our host moved our server location early Saturday morning, and the site was loading very slowly after that (1 to 3 minutes to load a page).

Then it was a ping-pong match back and forth between us and them, with them saying it's the site's fault, it's running too many scripts and maxing out the server CPU, and us saying everything's been perfect with you guys for 7 months and we had no problems until starting a half hour after you emailed us you'd finished this server move. They did a bunch of reboots, we turned some stuff off, but nothing helped.

Sometime last night the server crashed, reset, and now all seems to be running okay. Wish I could say I knew what did it...

EDIT: correction - our lead developer, Mike, went in and fixed things up. So nothing chance here, and all credit goes to Mike. Thanks Mike!
