Hey guys. As most of you are aware, we have been having some issues with the server recently. As a result, osu! will be offline from 18th Feb UTC11:00 for up to 5 hours. Expected downtime will likely be less than this. Read on for temporary IRC details and more details.
During the outage, you will be able to connect to irc server pe.ppy.sh from external clients (or webchat here. Make sure you bookmark this link as the osu! site will be unavailable during the downtime.

Unfortunately I have tried everything at my disposal to fix this issue and am 99% sure it is a problem with the system configuration that is out of my control without a reinstall of the operating system (yes I am sure of this and have checked everything that could possibly go wrong bar debugging the kernel myself).
The box is currently running an x86 kernel due to a misunderstanding during deployment, so the primary reason for this format is to change it over to an x64 architecture kernel. This will likely fix the memory allocation problems we are experiencing. As a bonus, I have decided to add an extra HDD and move the database off the hard drive which is used for swap memory. This will mean that even if we start flapping into swap, things won't come to a halt as they have been.
