Attn: RJ - Hampster Trouble

[Matt]

Is it just me, or are others having problem loading NP recently. It seems that the hampsters in the webservers are getting ever more tired as the days and weeks go by?

This morning, there seems to be loss of site, server connectivity issues and general drowsiness of the site.

I'm connecting from the UK.

Is anyone else having this problem, and do the Server Hampsters need to be replaced....

Having same problems in the past 3 days, site loading slow, sometimes server cant be found, then database error, havent seen these before, but it seems when softlayer went down that it caused these problems.

Yes I've been having a few errors lately too, but mostly just "Server is busy, try again in a minute" errors. Nothing serious on my end, just a simple refresh and it's gone most of the time.

I still NP no matter what lol.

Daily full database backup. Takes about 8 minutes, during which the site is mostly unaccessible.
