Yep, me too - just tried 3 times and all I kept getting was the "invalid name/password, you've used up 3 out of 5 attempts..." etc box.
Too early to start waving the conspiracy bat around - might just be some sort of database meltdown with the skeleton staffing there.
But nevertheless we should be prepared that someone has just yanked the plug without so much as a word to us. Wouldn't be the first time they've done something like that after all, right?
