All of Proboards suffered from problems over the last few hours, it was caused by something called a denial of service attack (aka DOS or DDOS) & it looks like its sorted out now.
A DOS usually involves some sad thingy bombarding a companies server with useless requests for data to slow it down or make it crash. Wikileaks was attacked this way recently, the US government hasn't claimed responsibbility....
