Regarding yesterday's downtime, forum server upgrades, plugin updates

[Shadowfang]

This is caused by a lack of memory of the server. We are currently using a server that has 1GB of memory. Most smartphones have more ^^

There is not much a program can do once it completely runs out of memory, as it would need to use memory in order to recover. More memory costs more money.

Technical stuff:
I'm gonna add a larger swapfile, so that in case the server runs out of physical memory, it will start using diskspace. Of course, once that runs out we're in a pickle, but it should give the server more air in cases of exceptional load.
