Alright, since we can't get any real response from Frogster, let's take some stabs in the dark as to what has actually happened.

What we know:
They moved data centers.

Everything else is pretty much up for grabs - So here is my stab in the dark:

The new data center is on a remote island metropolis and ran by UMPA LUMPAS who would rather be singing and making chocolate, but the evil FEU overlords wouldn't allow them to sing or make chocolate so they are sad and intentionally did a poor job setting up the new data center. One UMPA LUMPA left a chocolate bar on the main router, and it melted into it. Rather than reporting this to his evil FEU overlord manager, he hoped it would not cause too much discord. What he didn't know is that the peanuts in the chocolate have acted like little resistors and are now adding additional power drain on the router. They fill to capacity, slowly causing a wave of lag as electricity cannot flow through them, then POP - the electricity flows again, and lag is reduced. Then the cycle is repeated.

The siege server was replaced by an old atari game system, modified to accept a modern connection, but still running at atari speeds.
