Our server has been under attack since this morning. We're working to defeat the attack, but wanted to let everyone know we're on the case!
In the meantime, you may get some errors and also some threads may be a bit funky... we'll do our best to repair any broken threads after the attack is over. You may want to save copies of your posts before hitting submit, just in case!

Thanks @mrbee ! Sounds kinda scary that the servers are "under attack" 
Hope everything is okay!

@snowjewelz: Pretty much all servers are constantly under attack these days... the Internet is a scary place!

@mrbee: Wow... It def makes me re-think whether my information is really safe or not online! i think we take it for granted when nothing has happened to us!

Woah, what does an attack entail? Shows how little I know about running a huge site like this.

Yeah, I'm curious about the nature of the attacks. Does HB run on "cloud servers?" Are the cloud servers lumped with other websites or is it on its own server?

@PermaStudent: I'm interested too!

@PermaStudent: @cascademom: There are a couple different types of attacks... typically an attacker will use compromised webservers or laptops/PCs to launch the attack:

Will post more later, gotta focus on the attack for now.

@.twist.: Yah it's a dark unicorn attack. If we cut off their horns though, it removes their powers and then we can defeat them pretty easily.
