The worst I saw recently translated as "Nyaa, Nyaa, you can't login to YIM locally and the instructions for sending a bug report have been deleted from our website!" Our very part-time housekeeper was affected as well. I had a slight panic over whether it was a negative interaction with the TADS3 Author's Kit.

For a whole weekend. I suspect (from the timing) that it was a delayed side effect of deleting everyone's email attachments from Yahoo! webmail. The attachments were deleted April 1 2009; the login died the following Friday evening and did not revive until Monday.

The other day the Steam community site (yeah, so shoot me ) was down, and every time I tried to log in it gave me this error:

Error verifying humanity.

I would have thought it was the craziest thing ever, had I not previously seen that error when mistyping a captcha on that site...
