Quote UPDATE: everything appears as it should on our end. A traffic spike (most likely from gawker) caused the outage. we'll take a closer look at what happened and hopefully devise a solution in case this happens again. Thanks everyone for your patience. UPDATE: we are back online. there may be intermittent outages in the immediate future as we look at the cause of the outage. Please allow at least a few hours for the system to catch up in regards to processing deposits, vendor rankings, etc. UPDATE: all server data is intact, all backups are up-to-date, and all bitcoins are accounted for. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hey gang, sorry for the sudden outage. just found out about it and am looking into it. I'll keep this thread updated with any developments. sorry for the trouble. Title: Re: Silk Roads down? or is it my computer?
