The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Could it be possible icann.org is testing the waters, only happening to the US servers at the moment.

And its gone.

Maybe they wrote something critical about Hillary, I bet though.

I think it will be something else, most of the west/east coast of America went down, my bet is on ICANN but never will we find out.
MSM will surely lay the blame on Russia again, and as always no proof, just more rhetorical rubbish.
I really would not like to speculate any more.. the more you do, the more foolish you look. Cheesy

And its gone.

Down for me in the UK. I assume this is somehow related to the current strife with the wider internet. I can't say I'd miss the Guardian if it was gone forever. It's filled with whining, unworldly pricks whose mission in life is to leave you feeling more guilty for things you have no control over than when you arrived.
