OK - I think I'll stop making helpful suggetions, because I think you have thought this through a lot more than I have.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Did they ever precisely answer when they installed the new thing that kicks us off when we have exceeded our max number of connections? I didn't see where they did, but might have missed it.
If not? That's still my bet. They made a change. It caused a problem. We told them about the problem. The problem stopped. Occam's agrees.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If only telling someone about a problem was enough to make it go away, and remove fear it could happen again.
They did put in a monitoring change. That's all the change they made, as far as we've been told. They did nothing to resolve the issue, because they were as flummoxed as we were.

Oh good. My tooth is gone but the board is not.
Steven thinks that it has to be some illegal spider trying to mine the database. That's all he can come up with. The only alternative I could come up was a malicious attack against the board. But then, we wouldn't be fine now if it was an attack. So, I think his theory is still the only one holding any water.
In other news, I no longer have to worry about the board getting yanked on Angel premiere night.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
At least it wasn't our fault.

Just got 404ed trying to read Natter. And the board is suddenly loading really slow for some reason.

I had trouble loading it about a half an hour ago, for at least 5 or ten minutes.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I got 404'd, too. Had to open a new window to get access again.

Mine cleared up after about five minutes, and the board's all zippy again now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Oooh! I just noticed that the thread adminstration page now lists the thread number. Were about to add our 79th thread.
