The database was corrupted because some users from SBBH learned how to post submissions without a Title, they then spammed "a hundred" of these darts on the day the servers crashed. Putt being MIA was unable to hit reset switch.

Would seem wierd that a blank text field can corrupt a database? Is the field on a critical constraint or something?

Would seem like there should be a team of volunteers instead of all tech support leaning on one person's shoulders

There logic checks if/and/or loops, I dunno if several of them could do that but its at least possible. That these users are now angrily spamming/pinging me today says they are worried.
