For a while there I noticed that there was a whopping 4,800 guests on the forums...

Was someone trying to attack the server or something? :wtf:

I thought it might also have been related to the addition of the new section, but didn't think it could cause so much of a delay on loading. The site was basically down around ~1pm EST. When it did work for a few minutes it was phenomenal though.

Seems one of the banned members has connections with a hackersgroup. What a whimper !
