    Hey, has anyone noticed the Steam Community is down? I mean I can login with my steam account in the store and play games, but can't seem to login in the community - it says " Error verifying humanity". Oh, and I can't view other people's profiles even through my own browser (example: try to access my Steam ID from the link in my sig - it says "The specified profile could not be found.", right?).

    Apparently it is down. I clicked on the "Community" Tab in Steam, and it gave a 404.

    Whoa, that is weird...

    I like ponies?

    Has that always been there?

    Have they been hacked?

    I think I've seen error verifying humanity before... I thought 'HAX' so I quickly exited Steam.

    Such an odd message.

    It's probably some viral campaign to promote a new Steam/Valve game?
