TVTropes is locked out. You get a password box for 'SparkPay'. Did they run out of money again?

The loss of TVTropes would be a blow against civilization, but a godsend for productivity!

Too true, Garand. Pity is I've just finished my first novel, now I'm never going to get a page!

Seems fine from here, now.

"Yes, the site was DoS'ed. Our provider shut down the IP to maintain service. It's back up at the moment.

The Sparkpay thing was a configuration error during the fix process, not a spoofing attempt. Clear your cache and it should go away. " (post 10)

Yeah, just got back in. Oddly I can't get there by putting the address in the address bar, and neither of my bookmarks worked. Couldn't use the link on the Other Wiki, ended up getting there via the IMAGE on the page, and via Creative Commons!
