Well, one crisis ended, but two more have begun:
First, a couple of weeks or so ago, some guy decided to use SB's private messaging system to spam disgusting photos. The mods banned him, repeatedly, but as he was using proxies to get around the bans the admins had to remove the registration ability. Nobody knows when it'll be reinstated.
Second, just last night it was announced that the server's running dangerously low on hard drive space. Members are being told to limit their posts or even stop posting in the meantime. The admins are trying their best to put temporary fixes to the problem, but a truly permanent solution would require access to the actual hardware; only the owner of the site has that access, and he's rarely available.
I can only hope that these crises do not lead to the downfall of such a wonderful site as SB.
