Hallo! Aaargh, unbelievable! Seriously, every single time it has had a significant bug recently I've been away, and I think every single time I've been away it's had a nasty bug. Phenomenally unlucky.

Thanks very much for your patience, everyone. You'd have had good reason to be really annoyed at getting so much spam, so I really appreciate everyone being so chilled about it. This really is a great community.

Anyway, for the moment I have shut the server down to prevent further spamming. Before I did that it accidentally hosted a load of games - hopefully all of them should have hosted anyway, but if not maybe some rollbacks are required. That's a bit unfortunate - sorry. I'm a bit frazzled, having been up till 4.30am last night on the last night of this course, so I am going to have a nap now and hopefully things will be clearer when I get up.

Incidentally I don't think the issue had anything to do with the server getting overloaded - I think it's still not very near to reaching that stage. Rather, for some reason it ceased to be able to empty its mail inbox, and so the mail built up and up, and it responded repeatedly to each message.
