FR does this whenever it seems something can be gained by it.
Not to worry.  It WILL be back up!

Just saying - it probably has the most traffic of the majority of
sites on the web, too though.

I honestly rarely have problems with the site going down completely -
some MINOR sluggishness here and there, but overall I'd say it's
pretty reliable... (Of course, I have DSL, so if you're on dial-up or
something you may definitely notice more subtle problems than I.)
Considering the amount of traffic FR's servers handle I think it does
VERY well really - I've been on other forum sites over the years that
regularly go down with WAY less traffic - especially on weekends.

PS - this is "LibertyRocks" :-)
