I wanted to post a brief notice to let our readers know that, unfortunately, our site has been under malicious attack for the past week or so, and we are currently working to correct any issues and implement upgrades in security.
This does mean, however, that at the moment a few functions don’t appear to be working (comments, etc.) and that we are not actively updating while we lock everything down. I apologize for the delay in news and reviews — fingers crossed we will be back up to speed very soon!
