Site Update
Hey everybody, I am so sorry about all the lag and glitches you have been seeing around the site. After heavy investigation, I came to the realization that my guys over in the Data Center where the Aywas server is located installed the incorrect operating system version. For those of you who understand what I am talking about, a 32bit PAE version was installed of the operating system, instead of a 64bit.
The complications that arose from this are noticeable, and we can not rectify these issues until we can re-install the system. So, here is what is going to happen. About 2AM, you will see a downtime page, about half an hour after that, you will see nothing, the site will go down completely. This should last a couple hours, until such a point you will eventually see the downtime page again. All in all, the site could be down between the hours of 2AM and 8AM, but we are hoping to have the site back and running by 6AM.
Once this has been completed, the load issues you are seeing now, as well as all the gateway errors, should be completely gone. What we're going to do to compensate you for the downtime, is we are going to throw everybody a little bit of a party. What does this mean? Who knows, it's a secret ;)
Once again, we sincerely apologize about the inconvenience. Note though also, that NO data will be lost, under any circumstances. ALL data will be safely restored. Once again, I apologize for the inconveniences, and am doing my best to rectify the situation.
A quick note the site might be a bit slow for the next hour, while I generate a backup, to test the restoration capabilities. The site will speed back up shortly.

Thanks so much for taking the time to figure out what the problem is/was Rebel! ^^ And thank you for letting us know exactly what's gonna happen. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would have panicked if I'd come on and seen nothing. XD
