   Due to a severe PHP vulnerability we have made the decision to take all services offline to ensure the integrity and security of our services. This will last until there is a patch to PHP which is planned for about 13 hours from now. This shutdown will begin in about 10 minutes from the time of this announcement. If you have not saved your work please do so now. While we understand the inconvenience, this is deemed a necessary step, due to the expected and announced severity of these vulnerabilities. We appreciate the understanding and for bearing with us in these extraordinary circumstances.
