As many of you have experienced, there are problems with the site right now. I am trying to figure out what the problem is, but please be patient in the meantime.

I can google any YWS page and get on here, but I can't reach the homepage. The picture Leja showed is what comes up when I reach the homepage. Otherwise, googling any other page gets me to the site.

At first I thought someone was trying to hack the site due to some odd access logs. But, after finally getting to review the security logs, it doesn't look that way. So now I think it's because too many "people" were trying to access the site at one. I use quotes because most of those "people" were stupid search engine bots. They're great, but often overzealous. Increased user activity plus overzealous bots means that the database got overload and shut down. I think I fixed it by increasing the number of maximum connections from 100 to 500, but whether I actually did or not remains to be seen.
Jabber ->> Hit refresh! My guess is that your browser cached that page, so now it won't update until you reload the page. Browsers can be stupid like that.
Amelia ->> Aye, that screen will pop up whenever I turn off the site. I had to do it for a bit because resetting the server didn't work.
