It would seem according to the most recent posts that the last post was at 11:29 BST (GMT +1) and the latest post after the downtime was around 19:30 BST (GMT +1).
By my count that's 8 hours of downtime! Something big must have happened!
Yeah it was down all morning since 5:30 am Pacific(-8) for me. Was barely able to log on 30 minutes ago. But I am sure and it is obviously server issues of some sort. Patience is a good thing.........
