Due to an abnormally high server load the Use Tasks service was unavailable for about 90 minutes today.  The issue was due to a user that was accessing a script an excessive amount of times, and with an excessive amount of resources.  At this time, that user was blocked from accessing the script.

To address this in the future, we are putting the following changes into effect:

1.  We will have an automated process to check for excessive amounts of polls to the script in question.  The system will check and prevent connection "flooding".

2.  We will be adding additional server(s), to share the load, and act as a failover in case of high system load.
