Permanent help is on the way. I bought a new server tonight and it will hopefully be up and running by this weekend. You may continue to see issues in the meantime but know the fix is on the way.
Board is slow again today. The new server should be ready hopefully tonight but definitely by tommorrow. That will make the board really "zippy" again.
The new server is now up and running but the site has not been moved yet. I will start copying the site over sometime today and we may experience downtime from between 10 and 60 minutes.
