What failed here at RCU since yesterday afternoon?

RCU must have had some form of catastrophic hardware failure in the past 18 hours.
It's been that long since I could get in here.

Kept giving me;

"The RC Universe forums are shutdown right now for scheduled maintenance.
Check back in a few hours. Thanks for your patience"

I even had a friend at Comcast try, same results.

NOT connected to server outage at Comcast on Friday.
