I'm getting "We are currently performing a maintenance and upgrading our servers. Your patience is appreciated. Expected downtime is 4 to 5 hours but the forums remain open as usual." yet dnstats says its up. I haven't seen anyone posting about this. Thanks in advance.
If you look closely the dnsstats page is a cap of that notice you just quoted. I was confused too- the site is not broken or anything, or at least not because of outside forces. So: ping, get a reply. Technically, it is up, FUNCTIONALLY, it is down: up and down are a distinction without a difference, and right after I deposited one shiny bitcoin to get drugs with. I have had a good run so far- SR1 to BMR to Agora, I have not had to worry about new market jitters for a while.
You got a point though-weird how no one else is mentioningsite is down.
