Scenario 1: An abnormally large number of posters viewing the Politics thread for information on the riveting innards of Kevin Rudd caused the system to overload.
Scenario 2: As above, but posters viewing the Sunrise thread!

Scenario 3: It's all a con. The site did not crash, it was all in our imaginations, in the make believe world we have created for ourselves within this forum...
My vote is scenario 3
