Barron.. you need more redundancy.. this stuff is costing you i'm sure... an entire day down on a site with your traffic.. costs alot of money.. and i'm sure doesn't make advertisers that happy.. just a thought.. not trying to be a dick.. i run a few sites myself. and i've never had one down for a full day...
i couldn't get on so i went to this site http://downforme.org/is-elitetrader.com-down-today-for-everyone and it said et was up. now i'll know that site is worthless
