Question was the this site down?

I Tried to get on several times this past week and my browser kept timing out. Was this site down at all?

Yes the site has been up and down the past week with the large amount of traffic increase. We will be moving to a much more powerful server either later today or early tomorrow.

You should see a HUGE increase in performance and will be a much better overall experience for all of our members.

Yeah, I clicked on my tab several times that week, and was wondering why it was down. Better server and more members = good!
