Bad Hardware

We have two machines dead right now which is causing the site to suck.
Normally, two machines out would be nothing to worry about, but these are both in the same user cluster, so it's pushing all the work to that cluster's master.
The vendor for both the problematic machines is in Seattle, about 3 blocks from the data center, so we're gonna try and get everything resolved today. (don't worry --- both machines are slaves, so there's no reason to be afraid of data loss or anything)
In the meantime, making new posts and comments is disabled for free users to lighten up the load.

Taking it in a different direction.

Earlier this morning we stopped taking requests in the "customization" category of the support department, in an effort to alleviate some of the pressures of offering such a broad range of support. However, we're not ditching support for customization type inquiries. We'll just be taking it in a different direction:
We're going to be expanding our current documentation and we'll be encouraging everyone to help out by contributing their ideas and design talents. LiveJournal members will be able to get involved and contribute to our knowledge base much in the same way you can volunteer for the support or documentation departments. The howto journal will house more tutorials than ever, and will quickly become the definitive resource for customization purposes.
With S2 right around the corner (which is closer than you might think), we will hopefully have a vast resource of nifty customization information compiled and available for everyone to use.

Looking for communities?

As some of you may be aware, there is an officially sanctioned community,  community_promo, which allows LiveJournals users to run promotions for both the communities they maintain, and the communities they like the best. It is a great place to spread the word about your favorite communities, and to learn about some of the more obscure ones that slip under the radar.
However, there's another great place like community_promo that'll help you find some great communities. I'd like to announce the recently sanctioned resource community_quest, a community where you can post and try to find communities that already exist. Try it out! Its run by the same maintainer as community_promo, and is quickly becoming the most popular way to find what you're looking for. Its the 411 of LiveJournal communities!

Some of you might receive (or have already received) an email that says the sender is webmaster@livejournal.com, with a message containing the following paragraph:LiveJournal.com

member's live journals. The only way for us to fix the problem, Is for
you to log into your account ASAP! Please log into your account

Please disregard this email, as it is just a hoax trying to scare users into giving out their passwords.
