I have noticed recently that occasionally when I refresh a page, it only loads about halfway so I end up with half a page of red/white theme and half a page of just black background. Normally I blame any issues with web pages on Firefox's accelerated descent into horrific, painful, ridiculous, avoidable, "Oh my God why are they doing this?!?!?" awfulness, but I'll mention it anyway as it is a "loading issue" and the problem may be site related as well.

The mail server is also showing errors so something is definitely up.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

They came, messed with stuff, and left.

I'm not tidying up after them. Stupid martians.

Did they at least leave any moon rock? You could sell it on eBay

They installed a new support system for the host that you have to be able to read martianish to operate.  I can't and Google translate was just pants so I spammed a couple of buttons that looked like tickets and we seem to be back to normal now.

No moon rock though.

BTW, both those statements are true.

I checked and it looks like there could have been a load spike for a little while as it spat out some database connection errors.  They happen and are pretty much unavoidable, so if that was the case we should be ok now.  Any more and could mean that the server clock or something is off again.  I'll keep an eye on things.

Have you been giving out invitations lately?  I'm seeing some unfamiliar names on tonight in the restricted areas of the site and it makes me wonder about the security here.

EDIT:  Nevermind, saw the name in the d2 channel.  I'll check it out.

EDIT 2: Webslave is legit.  So is the other new user, Leonora.

Thanks, Dan.  I was just concerned that the site was being hacked again.  I've been on other fora that were deluged by Russian bots, so I didn't know if that was what was happening here.

The invite system keeps us completely locked down and, to date, has never been compromised even after being hacked.  Any new members have be screened and sanctioned by one of the members, who are the best judge of character.

Any new faces are all welcome and are all legit.

I'm lucky, I got in through the back door else I'd still be out in the cold no doubt.
