And baling wire and bubble gum. And occasionally duct tape.

And it's building up to another failure. Lots of extremely long events - e.g., opening a topic, next page, etc. Posts are almost always ended with an error (the post happens, but people retry without looking which is why we see duplicates). Soon it will freeze up, go off the air for a few days, be on life support and get a cardio shock and come back again. Happens about every 3 or 4 months.

Personally, I think it is due to the color of Patrick's car.
