Yeah the server is being banged around at the moment. We apparently had 110 users online at one point. I think Tim mentioned that we've had nearly 4000 connections and that was a while ago.
After a few days the rush will settle down and it'll be fine.
1. I think we're gonna have schemes based on the old looks, but thats something coming up in the future. Obviously we're focused on this at the moment.
2. Pretty sure its just the forums now. Should stop a lot of silly spamming hopefully.
