Hi Texi and everyone,

I don't think I'm allowed to link to other forums, so I'll take my explanation from there as a quote:

Previous:
I'm sorry to say that we are having sporadic oddness on the system at the moment. We are doing our level best to keep the impact to a minimum, but logging in at peak times may be somewhat slow.

We are currently upgrading everything from the very roots of our company. We have been around for 10 months and in that time have grown at rates that nobody could ever have foreseen. We have always had an eye on the future and, since September 05, have never had trouble with the system because of having too much traffic for us to handle.
However, it is becoming clear that simply throwing more hardware at the problem has its limits when we are handling such a massive volume of traffic. We are therefore making a good many changes to the system that will set us in fine stead for the future. We are doing this during summer as it is traditionally the lowest traffic time of year, especially when the weather is as it is currently.

Our prime objective in this time is to keep the actual parking pages working as well as possible and, as a result, the homepage may be somewhat slow at peak times. Maxo's comment would suggest otherwise, but we are doing all we can to ensure that your earnings are not affected in any way. Looking at the system as a whole, things still seem to be on an upward trajectory and we are constantly verifying that the system is running smoothly.

The process of ensuring a bright longterm future is nearly complete and we hope that you will never have any problems with slowdown in the future (a big hope, I know as all major PPC companies seem to go down fairly regularly as well as us having one or two issues, but we can hope).

We really are working round the clock to get on top of this. It is a matter of days before the new shiny solution will be ready and I beg you for patience during this time. I know it annoys you all, it frustrates us beyond belief, but we have to take steps now to ensure it doesn't need to be done at a time where people are not on their summer holidays and traffic is at its yearly peak.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me or PM.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Ed
