*sarcasm*Nothing like this has ever happened. I'm sure SE can fix the problem and prevent it from happening again in the future.*end-sarcasm*

I'd been making plans with people to do CoP 3-5 today for over a week now, then all of the sudden right as we're getting ready to go, SE gives us a system message saying there will be maintenance in an hour. WTF >.<

How many damn times are they gonna use this "DDoS attack" excuse? Every time it happens they say they are well on their way to catching the culprits and that the issue is being taken care of, but then it keeps happening again. <.<
