    Hey, anyone in here having problems with getting in or posting? Man, I thought someone had hijacked me, seeing that I have had my ports scanned a few times while in this site. Someone let me know if it was just me, or if anyone if it's the site.

    It took me roughly an hour and a half to get into the boards this AM, so I would guess that they are working on it now.

    Noticed it as well. Wonder if it would be helpful in the MG main page, put some kind of status indication if the forum is running (up/down/maintenance/offline). Food for thought :)

    Reminds me of that story about the hospital bed that people kept dying in at 11am. Turns out the cleaner unplugged the life support in order to polish and clean the floor. :(
