I’m bringing this point up again because I thought it was the reason for that big crash the other day and it’s the clean up. I believe that the clean up is causing this, but I may be wrong. Just think, before the big clean up everything ran a bit slow but still ran smoothly, never had a crash (at least I think) like that before. And wasn’t it always a little off trying to go into rp forums? I’ve been having issues yeterday where the intire website crashes my browser as well…

Also I sent an email as well… twice… but the second time was an accident! It sent it twice when I only sent it once.

@NobleWolf

Are we able to delete threads now? Because two of mine disappeared, but only after I said "ignore" (they were duplicates and the third one is still there)

It looks like the issue should be under control now.

I added a dedicated server to handle forums activity during the update the other day, but apparently the server wasn't large enough to handle the load. It's now been replaced with one significantly beefier that should be able to handle the load. I've also added better reporting on that server to notify me faster if it ever goes down or gets backed up.

Thanks for the email, @WhichForegroundRavenclaw. @NobleWolf I was cleaning up some of the duplicate threads while waiting for the new server to come online; I'll spent some time today working on the code necessary to let anyone delete their own threads.

Thanks all, please let me know if anything else looks crazy. I'll do a bit more investigating to ensure there's no other side-effects lasting.
