Sorry for the server outage earlier today folks. In an attempt to fix up our sandbox server to investigate some new feature work (after we made some adjustments to IP whitelist it to prevent the spam attack we had last time), a table repair on the server maxed out the amount of available RAM the server had. After attempting to wait for it to finish (instead of corrupting the table), the process was killed and server restarted. It took the server well over an hour to come back down to normal operating levels again after that, but the good news is that after the restart the server is blazing fast.

We're investigating the on-going server issues and have a couple leads. We'll let you know more as the time comes, but for now we may consider restarting the server if it runs this smoothly after a restart.
