Movement to New Server!
The plan is for the site to move to a new server tonight. This will include the addition of new hard drives in a RAID set-up specifically for the db so the system and db won't be on the same hard drives as well as a faster dual processor server.
I will past on more details when they are available. These measures are being taken to hopefully ensure continued stability.
Therefore, expect some downtime tonight / this morning. It could be up to a couple hours, but I am not 100% sure. If I learn more I will past it along. I have been anxiously awaiting this for quite some time and have begun work on this once continued problems became evident. It just took a while to get the equipment.
Thanks for your continued patience and participation here.

Re: Movement to New Server!
One of the two old HD's had to be replaced as well so it took a few additional hours. Thanks for your patience. We should see quite a bit of improved performance. Time for me to go to bed.

Thanks for putting in all that work, Marc!

Everything seems to be working well.
