Well, I went to go on AG today and it wouldn't load. I then went to the cache version and played a game there. When AG finally worked for me I had this Armatar and on my profile it says "and is ranked #856 out of 0 users."
Problems: -Slow page loading -Age is wrong for me -"Ranked #[Rank here] out of 0 users" -Down for a while -Armatar changes to Starry Armatar (Fixed it for myself, I hear John still has problems) -Firetail's counters are at 0
Was firetails comments not closed before, I thought they closed a week ago.
Either he or an administrator closed his comments a few days ago because of how much spam he gets. The counters are the comments, posts, merits, etc.... they're all at 0 from my view.
It wasn't a hacker, it was a physical problem in the building where our servers are located. They tell us it's related to their heating/cooling systems, and the site was offline for a little over one hour.
The issues you're seeing, especially slowness are because when all of our machines go offline like that it takes a while to rebuild all of the caching. It'll sort itself or in time, just be patient.
