All of yesterday, I was getting this messge that said that GSSF "could not be accessed by this socket". I would show you a screen shot, but I think I lost it. Does anyone know what happened?

I got that same message. There was a similar error displayed on the news bulletin on the main page of GSS. So what happened?

Well considering it occured in the site, and in the actual forum, the MySQL database was down. Pretty much the error states that connection is failing.
Its usually is due to server downtime ><~ It comes back after a while.

The important thing is it's nothing that will last long and you can access the site already. It's not a big deal, I presume.

Yes, I'm afraid the MySQL databases on our server died, and it took the tech support people way too long to get it fixed. I didn't notice exactly when it was resolved, but it was down for several hours. Everything is working again, and I hope that it won't happen again.
