We have experienced a hardware failure resulting in what we call a TITSUP situation (Total Inability To Sustain Usual Performance).

We have a very recent backup of most of the site, although a few private messages may be lost.

Rest assured, we expect to be back online in a few days.

But in the meantime have a cupcake!
