What happened on 3/29?

I tried to get on this site all day on 3/29, from 8:00 AM until after midnight, with no luck. Did anyone else have this issue?

Folks,
   the web host had a DNS glitch last night that knocked us offline for several hours. That's been resolved now. There is also a series of spam bots trying to register accounts and login as existing users. I have more work to apply IP blocking to better handle these attacks.

We do post information on Twitter about outages as we detect them and take action etc.  Please bookmark our Twitter URL.. just ckeck that link if you ever find the site offline.
