First, we updated our spam filter software but it was not tuned just right and was killing the server. We think we have that corrected.
Then, we discovered we were getting hammered by a badly behaved web scanning crawler that has a bad reputation--we think this one scans websites looking for email addresses to put in spam mailing lists. We think we have that properly blocked, but we are continuing to keep an eye on it as well as other potential problem web crawlers.
Lastly, we are continuing to grow ... many more clubs are using FTH now, and with the recent officer turnover, many clubs are updating their websites around the same timeframe. This is all with the same server as we have been using since FTH2 was released.
We are continuing to look at how we can make the server work more efficiently. I apologize for the problems. I assure you we are committed to making everything work smoothly.
