There's a notification in my inbox stating that the clue on a box that I have adopted, Fairchild Fantasy, has changed. The clue is on letterboxing.org, and as far as I can tell it hasn't changed -- I certainly didn't change it.

It's possible that Choi changed the page a bit. AQ isn't very smart and can't recognize if the header of a page has changed or if it's actually the clue itself. Although invariably, if he did change a page, AQ is going to start sending out notifications for all LbNA-hosted clues that have supposedly "changed" so yours might be the first of several people asking the same thing!

Nevermind.... I take it all back!
Did you read the "updated" clue on AQ? I think it's pretty obvious why the clue has "changed." =) You'll get another notification the next time AQ "updates" the clue as well.

WTH???!!?? Is that the result of LbNA's recent downtime?

It sounds like LbNA was getting too many hits overloading its resources rather than actual "downtime." Their server probably shows no downtime at all. But it's not a big deal--those things happen! And it'll fix itself the next time AQ caches the clue on LbNA.

So, merely hiking long distances is no longer good enough for you? Now you are going for speed as well?
