It is working for me and a few other users I've checked with. It may be that your internet browser cache needs to be cleared. http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache

Cleared cache, but neither homepage nor chat are working. I even tried IE, same result. :/

clearing the cache fixed things for me, but I'm sure there are still people who don't know how to get on/still think it's broken... so maybe announce it on twitter/fb or something?

I just got through using the "favourite video game plots" from my browsers history, then went to the home page. The fatal error i saw when trying to log in on Christmas day was not expected... but thanks for the explanation for what happened. I thought something serious happened to the site.

I can get in by clearing the cache by Chat has limited functionality. I can't see any text or anybody online, including myself

I could access the homepage last night and now it's giving the 'fatal error' again. Also, chat is not working, like how goodnews said. There's no text.

I'm looking into why the homepage keeps breaking, I've corrected the problems for now. Please let me know if you continue to see the error. Thanks!

it's good that it's been fixed. I thought I was the only one getting the problem accessing the MI homepage. Thanks!
