Over the past 3 days we've been dealing with the following on Newsie

- handled a DDOS attack targeting the @ProPublica account

- Fixed an issue in the code update that caused a server run-away

- Dealt with a bug in the software that flooded our systems with bogus mod reports

- Completely updated to a fresh server array

The systems team has largely resolved these issues caused by the 4.2.0 update and they are now rebuilding the search index and the image indexes.

Normalcy may be coming soon
