Was there another large round of bannings this afternoon?

I'm not saying there was, but when I just logged into FFXI about 10 minutes ago, the lead message on the Info page before I entered FFXI (the one in the POL viewer before I select FFXI) was an extension of the hours of the Information Center today.

Interested, I clicked on the link and saw that they had extended the hours today 2 hours, for people who got LM-17 errors upon logging in.

I know it's about time for another STFU report, but this is not what they usually do (extend the hours on the Info Center) when the STFU bannings come out...
