Scheduled website downtime

I've received a notice of scheduled downtime from our host. They will be taking our web server down for hardware upgrades on Tuesday, 7PM EDT. The downtime will last 15-30 minutes.

Not a great time for us, but because most of the other tenants on the server are in Europe, this is the best they can do.

Thanks for the update.
The site has been horribly slow at times over the last couple weeks, yesterday afternoon - night was really bad, so hopefully this will boost us up some.

Tig, the slowness and downtime of the site the last few days has been significant... we're talking 20-30 seconds to submit a post/reply with a 50% chance of "Internal Error" at times.

Is this update to address this issue or is this something totally related we need to flag?

I'll just throw this out there..
If need be, I may be able to help with the site's hosting, so just let me know.

Yes, it's to address performance issues.

Could you post a screenshot if you see the error again?

I'll try, i only got the error a few times, but i know Shock was having some major issues the other night (based on his officer chat rant)

Yeah, just times out / very long load times, at one point it actually took 35 seconds to open the private messages.

We're back online after a 20 minute shutdown. As far as I can tell the upgrade was well worth it.
