Dear LJ

I see that once again - as it has been for weeks and weeks now - the site is fucking unuseable in the evenings, once the Americans get online.

Somehow I suspect thist isn't to do with any DDoS attacks, especially as it's at least useable before peak times, but rather is down to the fact that the site is creaking and needs a serious hardware upgrade.

It's seriously, seriously starting to piss me off. Once 8.30 hits, it's fucking ridiculous. It takes several minutes to load pages, and Scrapbook is virtually inaccessible. Less time on your fucking LJ gifts and bollocking goat and meme crap fanfic, and more time on fixing things would be appreciated.

No love

P.S. Update your fucking status page. It's not been updated for a week, and no the errors did not 'go away soon'. Somehow I think even you aren't so incompetent you'd still be doing 'site maintenance', unless 'site maintenance' consists of sticking an elastoplast over the worst bit and hoping no one spots the bleeding exit wound at the back. Sheesh.

It's past annoying. It's been bloody weeks and they still haven't got their act together.

Huh. That sounds like it's been worse for you than for me. Weird stuff.

It's always, always slow in the evenings. Some nights you can get around it by clicking on the link again - it obviously hangs the first time, because it's so slow, but trying again is sometimes successful. I've grown so used to stopping and connecting again it's second nature now.

But Scrapbook is virtually inaccessible in the evenings, and I'm particularly frustrated today because that's the bit I need.

That's been happening to me on and off, but not nearly as consistently as it seems with you. Certainly not every day. I haven't used Scrapbook recently, though.
