    Come on, you already saw the site's Bad Gateway, what more do you want? (I'm not sure what was wrong, I just rebooted the server and it came back up. I'll look more into it later today.)

      I blame the evil eye. For the next month I'm prescribing you a de-evil-eye-ing plan consisting of wearing your underwear inside out, consuming a clove of garlic per day (minimum), placing a nazar amulet on the server rack, and getting de-evil-eye-d by a local old lady skilled in the craft.

            While sending the children thoughts is quite respectable, I encourage you to also send prayers. This typically causes it to be twice again as convincing.

              Alas when the word "pray" and my kind end up near children people think we're running around kidnapping them to another realm and replacing them with unreasonable facsimiles. I blame homophones.

      tildes took the one less traveled by,

    Guys... I think I may have jinxed it. This morning I randomly remembered the time the front page crashed from someone posting an article about authors named "Null" causing server errors on various sites due to messy code due to parsing issues. And then a couple hours later, the site crashed. So yeah, may have jinxed it by thinking of that dark, dark day... My bad.

      For the sake of the site, you should never remember anything again. Can you maybe run on pure gut instinct instead?
