Yeah, what's going on there? It seems like for the last couple of weeks or more that it's been slow or down.

Someone out to get them? They had a message last week that said that they had a "vicious attack" against their servers.

Somebody said it was a DOS attack. Why would someone do that? Against a watch forum?

Hey! I can be radical, subversive, controversial, and world-shaking.

Umm...as long as we do it before around 9:00 PM or so. I start to get tired about then.
