If I might piece together what is going on from multiple similar previous events.
The catalog was broken. Now images.
Most likely cause for a server system failure is lack of available disk space.
Shills have in the past done attacks on disk space by sending tons of illegal requests to the server so the server logs fill up before logrotate comes around to empty them.
Creating nonsense threads and spamming helps things along. Last time they did this was before BV posted the Ingersoll Larpwood thread, because of all of the very damaging screenshots. I would imagine that this is again for the same reason, to get rid of the screenshots. Therefore I must suggest that anons save any of the babyfist / deep digg screenshots they can, as they will return at the next available BV absence.
