 * Jez Suffers From Success
 * Many players were devastated when Jstris suffered an outage on Monday, preventing any and all access to the site. Jezevec was quick to provide a reason, announcing that the “server provider banned jstris server for high traffic”. Jstris was finally unbanned 10 hours after the announcement, but players have still reported instability when using the site.
