Potential server problems... follow @GreekChat on Twitter (just in case)

Two hours ago had some problems with GC's server. Had to shut the website off for a short time until the issue was sorted out.

Here's the automated server email I received about it:

Subject: Warning: High Server Load

78.94 server load = :eek:

I have a Twitter account setup for GC as a way to contact whoever follows in case there's any major server outage. I'm surprised the server didn't crash today with a server load so high. Anyhow, for anyone who would like to be updated if by some chance the current server crashes before the new server is online, be sure to follow @GreekChat on twitter: https://twitter.com/GreekChat

In other news... expected shipping date for the new server hard drives is Monday. Hopefully we'll be running on the new server by the middle of July, right before GreekChat's busiest time of year.
