login to libsyn.com and RSS feeds timeouts

A combination of different activities caused some run away processes to back up traffic going to libsyn.com's main application servers and database.  This resulted in slow page loads while hitting libsyn blogs, rss feeds, and login sessions on libsyn.com.  Media delivery was not affected by this issue.

The system in place to alert us of these issues failed due to some mis configuration after a recent system change.  This caused a slower than usual response time from our support team.

All issues have been resolved, the safety nets have been reconfigured.  We apologize for inconvenience and are working to deliver a redesigned backend for libsyn.com which will dramatically improve the quality of service for all libsyn users.  Thank you for your patience while we rebuild libsyn.
