Hello folks,
You might have noticed in the past few months some issues with our server.
Mostly noticeably the bad uptime and the long page loading times.
As we grow and get more and more popular, we receive more incoming traffic.
On top of that, a few months ago we received a nice DDoS attack for around a week... some of you probably remember that.
We are well-prepared for 2015 and as a result we will finally move to a new server which can better handle the increased traffic and DDOS attacks.
( It is our 4th big server move now =D )
We hope that we are from now on better prepared for the future.
