At any rate, if you do that again, I can get the

larousse by itself drags to a crawl with high traffic, even read-only,

Well, if we get around to the prettified static-HTML mirrorable version
that's been discussed, that would be preferable to the database-driven
live version for emergency purposes.
But, we don't have that done yet.
It's also
high time we move the mailing lists to the other server so
we can still communicate during downtime...
Since both pliny and larousse are going to be used for the live wiki,
I see no point at all in moving the lists from one to the other. They
need to be on a completely different server--even offsite, if possible.
Offsite would be better yet, but I'd rather see them on larousse, which
does _not_ have a history of crashing once a month or so and being offline
for hours at a time, than remain on pliny.
