Shortly after the release of Stick Arena to the public, the Xgen Studios Forums are prone to extended downtime, database errors, lag, and a phenomenon which the members define as a 'n00b flood'. Downtime is usually off and on, sometimes it's off for 3 minutes, others for 2 or 3 days. However, the frequency that downtime occurs has diminished recently, as one of the problems was a massive thread in the forum which has since been removed.
