By now I'm sure most of you have noticed the crawling speed that the =
gc.com website has been running at for the last few weeks.  Being /.'ed =
didn't help either, and now the site is completely down, due to either =
DDoS or they've finally tapped out the server's capabilities.

Been getting this error all morning:

HTTP Error 500-13 - Server too busy
