I've been getting 500 internal server errors and 503 service temporarily unavailable errors more and more frequently. Used to happen once every couple of days but now I'm seeing them at least once or twice a day.

Text from 500 error:

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

503 error text:

This has been going on for some time now. There have been a number of mod/admin posts on the subject, but here's one from the Giant (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12381374&postcount=16) about the issue.

In short: It's unfortunate but mostly unavoidable, they know about it, and it will be fixed if/when finances allow.
