... is it just me, or is LJ down?

I'm not even getting an error message, it just times out.

ETA: The status page doesn't have anything yet, but the Herald has picked up the problem:

The site seems to be down. Several users report being unable to load any page. We don't have any other information for now.

Stay tuned!

	Don't forget to push the refresh button repeatedly ;)) I hope with the new servers they will get the increase of user pics - whatever and how much they may be - will cause no trouble either when it goes down now. sigh (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, it's pretty slow for me as well. Possibly due to all of us LJ refugees trying to find entertainment elsewhere. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's been a while since we had a serious downtime, though - maybe someone figured we needed reminding of just how much we are ADDICTED.;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I remember them saying they were taking down the site for maintenance or something. Was that today? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mabiana 2008-10-26 10:13 am UTC (link)
	I'm fairly certain it first said the 29th and when I saw the message again earlier it had been striked out and changed to the 30th. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trobadora 2008-10-26 10:18 am UTC (link)
	It was much later in the day/night, too - something like 3:30 GMT or so IIRC. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mabiana 2008-10-26 10:31 am UTC (link)
	Maybe they waited too long with their maintenance and that's why it's now broken...? ;-) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trobadora 2008-10-26 10:32 am UTC (link)
	LOL! I'm sure this is unrelated, but I wish it would just GO AWAY. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I never pay close attention to those things ... oh well. Let's hope it rights itself soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
