Macrumors Server Error Message

[dvdh]

Is anyone else seeing this error when they try to log onto Macrumors today (since about 3 hours ago):

Warning : mysql_connect(): Host '192.168.1.4' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in /home/macrumor/public_html/csspvt/cssdbinit.inc on line 8
Unable to connect to database

Or is this a problem with my machine? (I can still access the forums with the same machine BTW)

It's at MacRumors' end, likely just some database issues.

I have it too. Looks like the SQL needs to be optimized and/or repaired.

Maybe it means tiger is coming out? Or G5 powerbooks!! 😀 😛

Got here it here to, just glad the forums are up 🙂

No, it's not a belated April Fool's Day prank. And we're gonna fix it.

That would be the best April Fool's Day prank ever:
HaHa, the main page doesn't work!!

Is this just a karmic joke on the mods for foisting off a pirate day on the members?

I'm still occasionally getting the same error, usually after reading a thread and hitting "back" to go to the main page. A refresh fixes it though.

I've been getting the same thing.
