Website performance issue

[xed]

You may have noticed (or complained) that the website is very slow recently. There is an I/O performance issue (http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=155657#p155657) with the disk storage system utilized by our ISP that hosts the WIMAC website, affecting us as well as many of their other customers.

Resolution is expected to be this weekend, cross your fingers...

Greg, you just saved me a bunch of money. I thought it was my computer. Now I can buy another plane with what I saved.
Thanks Greg

Interesting naming system... obviously... NERDS!
We would have named them:
Dead_stick
Overpropping
Glow_in_the_morning
Gasser
Eau_de_glow
Lostinthewoods
Foundallwrecked

etc...
