Whew, we've seen tens of thousands of kisses per hour, and have the lag to match it. Zombie progression is attempting to happen on the five minute mark, but it's being pushed back further and further in the queue while processing is attempting to happen.
I'm going to be taking the site down tonight at ~1AM (subeta time) to perform some critical database updates, update our indexes to speed things up and make our web servers more capable of spinning up new resources during events.
I'm expecting the downtime to be ~3 hours, and we'll come back up much zippier!
I'm really looking forward Scratch Games to the changes. This style really doesn't appeal to me.
