3. I was wondering about that

4. I'd assume it's due to heavy traffic, waiting for some breaking news...

I'm not sure cause I've not been around much and haven't looked into the latest upcoming scandal news.

But I think it's got something to do with this, a topic with more than 15,000 views last time I saw it:

7. If you go to the latest or greatest pages, you will see a note just above "Latest Videos"

It explains that we are on Level One due to high traffic and lists the features that are not available right now.

[cbayer]

14. It is generally due to high traffic.

I know from a mod perspective, there has been a very high level of activity on the site today. When the traffic dies down a bit, we will go back to Level 0. It's to keep the site running as smoothly as possible.

8. High traffic? Have this message in place of my sig line:

"Signature lines are currently turned off due to high traffic."
