WTF happened?

[CORed]

Less than 30 minutes ago, the colors changed from my settings to defaults. I figured it was just the usual cookie expiration, so went to login page and logged back in. I was taken to the "My home" page (not the way I'm set up, normally) and saw that my post count was reduced to 273 and my saved private messages were gone. The politics forum had come back from the dead, but the newest posts were over a year old. Formus with posts were displaying in threaded mode, even after I changed my settings to flat. Most of the formus were empty, or showing only stickys, and all were read-only. I figured either I was banned (I made one post pretty critical of the banning of Cyrus), or it was a glitch. It looked to me more like a glitch, so I closed my browser, waited a few minutes, and came back, and all was back to normal, so I guess it was a glitch. A rather strange one, though.
