Yeah, don't you hate when somebody does that.

It must not be updating as scheduled as it has been a few hours since I could get in too.  :(

Perhaps the script could be refreshed a bit more often than once per hour, unless it would drain on resources? This has happened a few times. Thankfully, nobody has posted anything really offensive, but it is still a bit annoying.

I wonder if it could be anybody we know ;)  and it seems they are still putting an ad up in the banner just not changing the admin password.
