+      p As most of you probably noticed, the site was down yesterday. We got a surge of new users from Imgur who absolutely flattened the servers by registering all at once, and it proved very difficult to start up again. You can read the technical details <a href="https://github.com/HabitRPG/habitrpg/issues/4737" target="_blank">in this Github ticket</a>. We're sorry about all of the frustration!
+      br
+      p At about midnight PST we checked all active users into the inn, "freezing" their accounts so that their incomplete Dailies would not hurt them, in hopes that this would prevent most of the undeserved deaths due to server troubles. That's why your avatar is sleeping! To check yourself out of the inn, go to Social > Tavern > Check out of inn.
+      br
+      p If you died before we could check you into the Inn, you can restore your streaks under task edit, and all other stats under Settings > Site > Fix Character Values. You should be able to buy back all missing items under Rewards. If you cannot, please post in Social > Tavern and a moderator will help you!
+      br
+      p Thank you so much to all of our intrepid users who answered questions on social media and in the chat rooms, and to everyone who sent us kind messages while we were scrambling to save the site. You guys are incredible, and we feel constantly lucky to have such a caring and positive community.
+      br
+      p And welcome, Imgurians! Sorry your introduction was so rocky, but we can't wait to get to know you. There is a <a href="https://habitrpg.com/#/options/groups/guilds/4709ba62-2ba0-43ff-a5a5-494c774236ec">Camp Imgur Guild</a> that you might enjoy.
+      br
+      p Now, back to productivity!
