Noticed it also...can be a definite "WTF, dammit!" when you're hoping to get that PM back about a pending trade :)

Ditto over several days. Here's the last message I got:

Same here. Saw the same error messages as MEDEVL Thurs evening on the home system and early Fri morning on the office computer system.
Maybe the site is getting a little unstable again?

I talked with Adam about this last night. The ISP is doing strange things and we are beginning to plan our quest outward for backups and possible mirrors.

Which doesn't solve the server crashes, but could at least provide a stopgap measure. :-?

I am also signing up for a notification service which will check the site to ensure that it is running and if it is not, page my phone.

Just don't get a $.01 car charger for that phone.
