We get it.

The frustration of feeling like the website if running slower than it normally does. Or getting the forever welcomed 503 error.

We felt that although transferring to a dedicated server is a little above our price point at the moment, it was an investment worth making.

So that is what we did! We've moved the website to its own private server. That should mean a smoother running community for everyone reading this. However if you are still running into snags. 503 errors or anything similar. Please screenshot and post below with the time/date.

Thanks.

O @Cheza I hate to do this, because I love @KitaVonKanada to death, but I remember sitting at my desk lastnight at 2am trying to figure out why the website was getting a database error while doing the transfer, glancing over at @KitaVonKanada and witnessing a very 'I am asleep and having a very nice dream' look on her face.

In her defense though she did do a lot of research, trying to figure things out, earlier in the day.

I definitely was sending positive Lucario-esque vibes for your success!

Thank you so much you guys, I've only been on the site for a couple of months, but it's hard to see how I would go with my day without hoping on. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that we really appreciate what you guys do for us.
