Dec 8th - Speed and error issues

Dec 08,2011 Feedback

Hi Everyone,

We've recently been hit by a massive wave of attacks on the site from a network of IPs based somewhere in China. This is the second time it happens, only this time it's been a lot worse. Our programmers have managed to track down those IPs and banned them, but not before they managed to inflict quite a bit of damage here.

We're in the process of fixing this and will get the site back up and running as fast as we can. If you notice any errors, please send me a mail.

Thank you for your patience.
