    Starting about midnight, the server hosting the site went haywire. There was a routing record that got corrupted and was causing some sites to point to older servers (on the same host) which is very odd. As of right now, the primary issue seems to be resolved but there are still other issues happening on other sites on the server, but these don't seem to be affecting this website, so at least there's that.

    So if for some reason the site is offline over the next couple days, it's probably related to that issue. When trying to fix these things, it's necessary to occasionally restart the apache server which can result in some momentary downtime. When I say momentary, it's just that - restarting the server when it's running on a virtual machine literally takes a matter of seconds.

    So you can be in the middle of writing a post and never know anything happened, as long as you don't try to post the reply as the server is restarting.

    But if that DOES happen...that's why.
