I've been using Etherpad yesterday and today, and increasingly getting connection errors for a while, and on trying to submit a help req, get this notice:
"Oops! A server error occured. It's been logged. Please email support@etherpad.com if this persists."
If this is load related: should we be wary of using that etherpad server during sessions?
