Crossing my fingers that they've gotten this figured out, we shall see, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Working back-end IT, networks and servers in particular, I've been shaking my head at all the "FIX IT NAO!" threads.. people think you can just snap your fingers and have an instant doubling of server capacity or something :lol:

Yea, it's as if some people think all SE has to do is just go to Walmart and buy some ready-made servers and plug it in.

Even (2) weeks is impressive as far as turn-around, kudos to whoever their supplier is if they're not completely custom building their server gear. (2) weeks is even a stretch since they ordered additional equipment when phase 4 showed there would be problems and they had it installed and in testing a week later roughly.
