16. Defcon 4. They've shut down graphics and the like to save bandwidth,

because the traffic is high. Happens after important speeches, on election nights, and the like.

8. it's a replacement for the image

Minimal images to lessen server load during high volume times like this... This is the first time I've seen it in quite a while.

10. The site is in "basic" mode b/c of heavy traffic due to speech. So, no sig lines, graphics, etc.

Everything else should work as usual.
