Hello,

First I would like to apologize for all the issues we have experienced over the past week. However alot of things have happened that go on behind the scenes and we can not prepare for everything.

1) At the start of the week we have moved our servers to a new home, this new Data-center gives us a MUCH faster connection (may not have seen it this week) I assure you its must faster once we get the bugs worked out.

2) We adopted cloudflare, cloudflare's idea is excellent however I just don't think it can handle a beast like rollitup with so many users using it. Essentially cloudflare *should* speed up page loads and increase security by blocking spammers and botnets.(infected computers). We have since disabled this service as the site just loads way to slow with it.

3) The likes system we are still trying to fix, a lot of these modules that vBulletin has are not built to be scaled well, we have re-enabled them but our MySQL programmers told me this morning we might need to disable them and try to rectify the problem.

During our downtime I have heard that members have been receiving emails that the site has been hacked, new sites being made etc. This is not the case your security is our #1 concern and for this reason we will be starting a separate website that you may visit in-case the rollitup servers are down and your are wondering why. Most of the maintenance is done behind the scenes and users do not actually notice however we encountered quite a few problems this week and hopefully everything is fixed.

Take Care
