UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE: General Discussion is temporarily shut down while we work on an issue

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the Announcements group).

Hi everyone,

We have had an unexpected problem with the General Discussion forum caused by an error during routine maintenance, and we have had to shut down General Discussion while we work on a fix. We're not sure how long this will take, but hopefully not long.

This has not been caused by an outside actor -- we have not been hacked.

We will let you know when we have further information. In the meantime, all the other forums and groups should be operating normally.

We apologize for the inconvenience!

-- EarlG and Elad

UPDATE: I'm going to lock this thread now because we have some follow-up information. General Discussion is now open again. Please see this announcement:
