I log on at weird time, or just generally during the day, or am on the boards and try to post and the server crashes or whatever happens.

It's the Subaru guys from the recent acquisition....the site used to work.

I'm just glad I don't have to keep fighting it when it is down.

Actually, THIS is more of the complaint desk: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/feedback/

And there you'll find quite a few threads about why the server is having trouble and what we're doing about it.

Just as an aside, as a side effect of all this work on the server issues, the site is roughly 300% faster now... at least it is when it's not down.

I did notice the speed increase over the last few days, but I was scared to mention it for fear of a crash.

I also want to say we appreciate all the work y'all do to keep this bunch of crazy people in touch with each other.

Thanks a Bunch.

Simple answer. JG recently discovered Japanese tentacle movies. He's now using every computer in the office to run Bit Torrent after hours making the servers cry.
