HELLO FRIENDS! Do you like updates? Here is an update.

I pride myself on running mas.to as a fast and reliable server. Over the last 48 hours it has been slow, lagging hours behind real-time and with periods of downtime. This is not the experience I want for our members!

There was simply no way to anticipate the colossal demand that hit us on Friday. It was huge! We have however now caught up and will monitor the situation. We’ll keep registrations closed for the time being.

@trumpet is it still running on a single server or did you split off some services?
@bitpirate We’d previously moved twice to single larger servers. The one we were on was handling capacity perfectly well until the end of last week! We now have another server with the same specs and will move some services over to that!
@bitpirate Just as an update we have some services overspilling onto a third server now!
