Hi all!
We've grown quite a lot since the last database upgrade and are reaching the limits of what the current database machine can handle. It looks like we're hitting the upper limits of resource usage for about 10-15% of users during high-activity periods (like right now), so I'm going to go ahead and upgrade the database to a much-beefier machine before it gets any worse. If you're seeing error pages while trying to access to the site, this will fix that.
TL;DR: The database will update tonight (approximately 7 hours from now), and we may be down for approximately 5 minutes while we switch over to the new machine.
