Yep, down.

ASAP? Possibly not. Average downtime in two days, what.. 50% ?

I got that too, and then finally this: "The Silk Road is down for maintenance. We will get the site back up asap. Thank you for your patience."

But I get the distinct feeling DPR put that up just for domestic comsumption it you will, to get a breather, so peole would stop complaining for a while, until he figures out what is the problem. Does anyone else share this view?

Still maintenance screen here, perhaps limiting the traffic?  Don't know if that's possible as I'm not a super-tech guy.

He said he knows what the real problem is but he's not going to share it with the public, probably for his own good reasons.

Just be patient and the site will be back.

I've also been trying to log in all day and managed to get on about 10 hours ago. First it would lag a ton and sometimes not load the login page, then it would load the login with no capcha. When I put my info and tried to enter it lags out every time. Later it said "site is down for maintenance," with the SR logo on a white page. Now it's saying "404 - Not Found." Just letting you guys know so if it's happening to you also, you know you're not the only one. Let's all be patient, I'm sure everything will be working fine very soon.

At some point, everyone needs to stop hitting new-identity/refresh and lay off the servers for a while.  You're not helping the server strain by sending 10 requests to view your messages, which should only be one.  Not only are you not able to consume the site, but you are making it 10x harder for anyone else to consume the site as well.  And so on.

If you aren't a vendor, or you aren't trying to finalize an order, just chill.

if you try SR a couple time every half hour to hour you will generally find periods of time that you can access the road

it is an improvement over the past few days but unfortunately still not working completely
