Hey Kobi -

We actually have a couple of things happening right now. Yesterday, our site was down for a bit because our hosting company had a systemwide outage due to various issues.
I posted a thread about it on the front page but basically what happened was that Media Temple had an issue large enough to cause not only our site to lose service, but literally hundreds of sites.

This morning, we had a different issue arise. We hit a memory limit on our site usage which caused our operating component to shut down. This is both a good and bad thing. Good because it means that the site is growing and is evidence that more and more folks are using the site every day. Bad because it means we are going to have to upgrade our memory in order to accommodate our increase in traffic.

I'll be posting more about this issue once I speak to Linus.

Thanks!
