Crash o rama....

Has anyone else noticed the site's been crashing a lot recently?  Like 3 to 4 times a day, minimum?

Hey, it had already crashed twice this morning before I posted, so this is NOT my fault.   ;)

The number of users logged onto the forum is pretty fractional compared to the number of users hitting the site (and all other sites I have on this account) as a whole.

I'm looking into options to upgrade the account.  It'll quadruple my (admittedly fairly modest at this point) monthly server costs, and will involve a 12-48 hour downtime for everything at some undefined point within a 2-week span.  I probably won't be willing to do that until October; August is a bad month for my sites to be down.

The constant "Cannot find servers" are driving me absolutely nuts! Sometimes my most angry posts come from having spent ten minutes trying to get into the site.

Then spend more time away from the computer.
