Central US. It is down everywhere, it is on digg and on reddit now about it :p

It just really irks me I just signed up for it and boom, can't use it. Thats like paying to go swimming at a swim club, getting in your trunks and seeing a 'down for maintenance' sign.


Sigh at Dartworth's reply.

Down for a number of hours now. How long is it going to take to bring it back up?
