Right now, whenever 4chan bites the dust, the retry timer keeps trying to fetch pages every 10 seconds. This probably doesn't help load issues, not to mention it might lead to blocks if it continues.
Why not do something like after a few failures, bump up the time to retry by a few seconds, or add another second for each auto-refresh failure? This way, if a page failed to be retried when 4chan is up, the difference is less notable, while if it's down, 4chan x slowly backs off on it's retries until it comes back.
