How on earth?

Spam bot attack? Distributed denial of service? Mashing F5 with an IP that changes?

And at 4:40AM of all times!

It's the North-South Rail Link! And look, it's even been extended to Everett!

Know what I really hate about sports (or at least sport fans)?

The "but he's our asshole" syndrome.

When player x from the other team plays dirty he should be strung up, but when player y from our team does the same shit he's a fucking saint who doesn't deserve this horrible persecution.
