Wow, the site went down for about .5 hour. But I guess you knew that.

Buffistas Building a Better Board
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I think it was a network problem (not the site itself), since I couldn't access Shriftweb either, and traceroute to both sites was getting stuck around the same place. Are both sites hosted in the same provider?
Yes, they are.

I got the same thing @ 8:36. Copied it down, 'cuz it's fucking funny, and then hit back and tried to read new again. No problem.
