That's quite expectable if you remember when was the last time the released a big update. So how do you deal with it? Apparently VLC team found an ultimate solution to high load on the support team - take down the forum!

If you try and go to http://forum.videolan.org/ right now this is what you will see:

The forum has been disabled due to high load during the VLC 0.9.3 release. It will be back once things settle. Long live VLC!
