Overloaded servers.

@plutomaniac: Nah I right-clicked the image and selected "View Image Info" (on Firefox, that is) and saw it there. It probably appears in the source code too, though.

The only reason I saw it at all was because the page loaded in so slowly that the image's alternative text was displayed briefly, and I was like "wait, what the hell did that say??" haha.

Progress going between 0% and 99% for me

E: Yeah .. I think 4 hours of refreshing is enough, time to go and do something else : P

Overloaded servers.

Explains how?

1. people create threads, most of them labelled as "are you ready for system shock 3"
2. people are interested, threads get popular
3. everyone is visiting the site continually and refreshing it repeatedly
4. site overloaded.

Soo... and now?

So, FG survived AMFP hype (ARG that took place a year ago, there were so much threads per day that mods decided to merge all of them into one discussion thread that managed to gather 30-50 pages per day) and survived AMFP launch but now overloaded due to very subtle game announce not so many people still know about?

Sorry if I don't buy it, nope.
