It has been crashing on and off.  I write a comment, hit post and down it comes.  So far I have re-written two comments.  Could it be all those spammers from Asia are crashing it?

I noticed it was down. Bob Stewart said on a post I saw it was hit by spammers and that they blocked hundreds of IP addresses today.  Hopefully that will stop some of the spam too.

Yes, but I think it was around 3 EST.  right now it's 3:47 EST...which makes it 12:47 PST...and 3pm PST hasn't happened yet...unless I'm going crazy...and that's entirely possible.

Yes, I did experience this yesterday. New ownership, new server, needing some fine-tuning perhaps?
