At approximately 1200 UTC we experience a problem and the site was unavailable for about an hour. As I understand it, we had some connectivity issues. We are now in the process of investigating. Kudos to TheMightyBuzzard for his way-too-early-in-the-morning work to get us back up!
Registered users will probably have to log back in again.
Here's hoping this is the worst problem you have today!

Was setting off my OCD, I'm sure I'll come up with something even worse later. :^)
OCD fucking sucks. Thanks TMB.

You're in mostly good company here and it's okay to let off some steam. Kudos to the awesome admins to help out.

Okay, OCD is one thing . . . that was . . . something else. Ahh..., hmm..., looking at the friendly wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_disorder [wikipedia.org] There's a lot more to it than just repetitive oddities and weird tics. Though, I would have likened that post to near spam levels of things. Personally, I was wondering, if you'd been hacked.

A buddy of mine always used to bemoan that he didn't have OCD manifest as hoarding or cleaning. It was intrusive thoughts, that he'd involuntarily share at the most inopportune time; hilarious and horrifying in equal measure.

Yeah, that's the kind I have. It is usually extremely painful. Imagine the fear of tilting too far back in a chair, or the worst fear of your life to the point you felt physically sick, and have that all day, every day, from the moment you wake up to the moment you fall asleep. That's what it's like if I'm unmedicated.
