ita, if the server admin can't tell us anything new, Steven suggested that you check the last 300 visitors. He's wondering if someone is trying to hotlink to the threads.

Hmm. I'd be willing to bet that someone has probably hotlinked to Jess's post with her link to her spoiler summaries for episodes 1 and 2, rather than to, oh, her actual summaries page.

Just got the message everyone was talking about after hitting message center.
And it's nice to be part of the group.

Is disabling hotlinking something that we can do easily? As in, like now and see what happens?

BTW, in case I didn't say it before, this is how it will be from now on. If we go over, we get that handy dandy, and yes annoying, error message. As opposed to flying way way over and getting yanked.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm getting one of those type messages (which I should have copied, but didn't because I'm a bad buffista) where the side bar should be on the right. It kinda squishes the message center to the left and squishes the admin threads down and wide.

If you got a "too many connections" message, I don't think there's anything we can do about it until morning. We need to figure out who's sucking the life out of our connections.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
And then kill them?
Maim?
Smack 'em around a bit?
Fine. How about looking at them witheringly?

Okay, I can't believe this is just an innocent "someone hotlinked to a thread and a bunch of people went to read what it said". It's 11 PM on a Sunday night on the West Coast.
And I don't know what we're going to do. If we figure out where it's coming from, we can always report them.
