Server Updates

[RequestMike]

For those who didn't know, Hard Drop was hosted on a dedicated server that was shared with several other websites. I believe the slow page loads started about 5 to 7 days ago due to an enormous amount of traffic heading over to one of my other websites that was also hosted on the same server as Hard Drop.

I decided to purchase another server and move that website over to the new rig which pretty much allowed the current server to run smoothly again. So far everything looks stable and server load average went from a constant 20-30 to about a comfortable 4 now. I'll keep you all posted as to what will happen next. I am thinking of moving Hard Drop over to the new server as well and set this server up to a 64-bit OS with other quirks.

For those who aren't on our Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/110637719775/ ), we've just switched over to a more expensive host with a very good track record.  I should have just done this in the past but I was being cheap.  If all goes well and is stable we will be staying here from now on.

Fixed an issue where PM sending and Comment posting were hanging for awhile after the server move.
