the instance is going down for a bit at 8 AM GMT on November 12th to finally put us behind iocaine, which should hopefully reduce or eliminate the amount of 503 errors we're seeing (since all of them are scrapers pushing over the instance) and expose some metrics for admins trying to keep track of how our instance is performing

I'm also working on a bit of a treat for our regulars who've been putting up with the 503s for a while. that will probably be announced a bit after the downtime completes.
