		+	<b>February 9, 2026: We have fixed two problems that have affected the site lately. Firstly, the server was undergoing a DDoS attack. We improved the site configuration and have managed to block the requests that were rendering the site inaccessible. Secondly, the site's email configuration broke at some point, which caused new account requests to fail. Both of these problems have been resolved. If you tried to sign up for an account recently and it failed, please try again now. If you encounter any more problems, please let us know.</b>
