Behold, We Go To Prepare A Place For You

FRIDAY UPDATE 10:45AM: If you’re reading this, you’re on our brand-new dedicated server! Welcome and please don’t break anything.

UPDATE 8:50PM: We’re back, thanks as always for your patience.

We’ll be taking our server down a bit later this evening to complete another major round of upgrades–maybe, just maybe, the definitive upgrade to our always-overtaxed server capacity that everyone has been looking for. Or, maybe it’s just the next step in the endless arms race against spammers and hackers, while keeping the site functional for the occasional actual reader (that’s you). Either way, it must be done, and we’ll do our best to make it as brief an outage as possible.

Look for updates via Twitter, and we’ll see you on the other side.

Ah, a lovely specimen of Tyrannosarus Rex Judaeorum.

Somebody thought they were gonna get "raptured", but instead they got "raptored". Everybody's been getting it wrong all this time.

We are still tweaking things in the backend, so it's possible we'll be a little choppy for a few hours. But we're now on a dedicated server with a lot more power. Enjoy and let us know if you have any trouble.

Definitely seems faster. Where is the search box?

  We've switched to Google search to provide a better experience with fewer resources consumed.

It does seem zippier. Thanks, Pols. The Google search thingy behaved weirdly for me, the first time I tried it, but now seems to work OK.
It takes me to the “not found” page first, then when I type the search term in the not found box, it finds it quickly. Is that how it’s supposed to work?
