Links to Community don't seem to be working.
I can get to everything else fine, but Community doesn't work. It just sits idle for a few minutes and then nothing changes. No error messages or anything. It just stays on the previous page.

Ryan, works fine when I click on your link. Just a little slow

Seems to be working better now.
At least I can get to it now.
It is slow, though.
Especially when you click the link from within a thread there.

Perhaps you could use this time to contribute to the climbing-related forums that can be found on this board? Bwahaha, who am I kidding.

Database was all swapped out (it was running off of the disk -- slow -- rather than out of main memory -- fast) earlier today, apparently due to dealing with Spray bounces (which also go into the database thanks to dbmail). That was causing the slowdown.
I null-routed all of the bounce emails (told the mailserver to throw them away -- nobody is reading them anyhow) and restarted the database (causing it to clear out all of its buffers and only use memory that it actually NEEDS), and the load promptly dropped from ~30 (3000% of what the processors are supposed to handle) down to about 3 (only 300% of what the box is meant to handle -- no worries). That probably coincided with the return to normalcy.
More RAM will fix this. We're budgeting for some to go in next month, along with a faster front-end webserver in a few months. The accelerator software that we've been testing for the past 2 weeks has done a great job with the web server's speed, so now the bottleneck has shifted to the database (which goes fastest if it all lives in RAM... which calls for more RAM... hence the above statement of priorities). Until we put in the extra memory, this is bound to happen every now and then. Such is life...
I've heard about this Community you speak of. It seems to be a dark and forbidding place, like the Tardis in Dr. Who...

basicly the database was full of returned emails and so the serves was slow. so he told the machine to delete these mails when they came and restarted the databese. things returned to normal.
in order to fix this theyll buy some more memory and a new server.
