If you were visiting the site in the past few hours, you likely noticed a temporary IP block and were unable to access the site. This was a bug related to the recent upgrades to our servers. If you were blocked, it was simply in error, and not your fault.

Our site temporarily blocks IP addresses if they're making too many invalid requests. If you view the attached image, you can see we introduced a load balancer today between the user and our web servers. This caused our database to start incorrectly logging the local IP address of our load balancer as the source of invalid requests, instead of the IP address of the user. When the invalid request limit was reached, the IP address of our load balancer, and all incoming traffic was blocked. The site has been updated in the past hour to fix the bug and to accurately resolve user IP addresses with our new load balancer in place, so everything should be working as expected once again. Sorry about the brief downtime.

I thought it was something like this since it vanished after a while. Also had some troubles opening the site at all this morning. But it seems that everything is fine again. Thanks for the information.
