Sonic Team did a server maintenace this morning. The reason for this appears to have been a glitch in the two latest quests on the Gamecube. As for what the glitch was, it's unclear although it seems to have related to the Lucky Coin you get in one of them. Babelfish seems to be having trouble translating the page, so here you can find the original, and then translate it on babelfish's site itself here. I'll get more details as soon as possible.

I have an update on what happened. According to PSOXtreme, a mod on the Sega forums, it was actually Gallon's computer that was broken. All's well now tho I guess.
