Doubt it. This is a good way to say "we really don't know how many people jumped ship, as our website was down along with the fact were testing blocking mobile browsers"

Maybe they turned off the servers because the servers were telling everyone to leave. Better to be down than to let people see the mods all on strike.

Or maybe it's just broken.

Wonder if this could be related to dynamic scaling on their servers? I'm sure traffic took a sudden drop today and maybe that threw everything off?
