All of you have awesome powers of deductive reasoning, so once you saw that you could neither comment nor read stories around 3pm Crecente Time today, you probably knew this was a major site problem and not some passive-aggressive ploy to see if you still cared about us.

We regret the major disruption to Kotaku today. It was noticed immediately and worked on diligently by Gawker Media staff for more than eight hours late into the night Saturday. We thank them for their hard work, we thank you for your patience, and your regularly scheduled Kotaku will return at 8 am on Sunday.
