Probably purple dudes doing evil Mr Burns shit.
Last time I tried to "visit" my neighbor, her husband told me to leave immediately or he'd tell my wife.
TO answer the OP, we've been a bit lazy on performing routine maintenance and it's probably overdue for us to do some server intensive operations to freshen the site up a bit (archive old threads, resync database tables, etc.) It puts a heavy load on the site and slows things down a LOT but it needs to get done. We'll have to schedule some of these efforts for the middle of the night over a few days.
