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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

In addition to the fatal error messages other people have been getting, I've also gotten several pages that only loaded the logo, quote, and text at the top of the page down to the "Threadsuck" line, with everything below that being blank. Admittedly I know nothing about programming, but that sounds like something going wonky in the site's coding rather than just me getting bounced due to no available connections.

It's a SLOW 11pm on a Sunday night on the West Coast, as well.

Not just here, but at all my online haunts. What sort of logging do we have?
