    As you might have noticed, the whole SP was down for about 6 hours today. What happened is still under investigation, but I'll post here when I learn of anything new on the matter.

    Thus far, terrorist attacks have been excluded as a possible reason for the downtime. :D

    This 'ol board of yer's is cracking down, since we haven't seen any "Hax0red by l77t Hax0r" messages after the down-time. :p

    Or maybe the server was just tired and decided to take a lunch-break.

    Amazingly enough, it happened when I was feeling the spammiest.

    Maybe it's a plot from chev to keep everyone's postcount far far away from his!

    Rotku speaks wisely (considering that's what I told him last night on the chatroom, of ocurse he does!), we must listen to him and prepare for the Apocalypse!

    Well, the official from the server techs is that they haven't a clue why it went down. The error logs don't show anything. Which is what I knew before I asked anyway, so... Could be just about anything. Oh well.
