As one of the KeenSpace Wranglers who help out with the KeenSpot/Space server, the offical word is "We're on it." Unoffical, only myself commentary below:
Technically, KeenSpot and KeenSpace share the same server at this time (Dec 16th, 2001) -- a DNS lookup on each of the usernames (including NewsHounds, Gene Catlow, Schlock Mercinary, and others) can confirm this. That's over five thousand comics! This puts a ton of load on the server, and sometimes it does go down. The admins tell me that they are working on some homebrewed clustering technology that will lighten up the servers some, as well as a few other ideas.
The Wranglers keep an eye on the server because we also have our own comics on there. The admins are also cartoonists!
Don't be afraid to contact me directly if one of the servers goes down. I'll check it and pass it along.
