Update from Markos re: DKos being down. It is, apparently, an actual physical problem for his site. Moving servers, etc. Read message.

From Markos:
Our host used to lease space at a wholesaler data center. The host bought its own building, and is in the process of physically moving all their servers to the new facility. The process was supposed to take 2 hours, in the dead of night, and we were supposed to have a message on the site explaining the situation.

But, as is often the case with technology, things didn't go according to plan. I'm not sure what the problem is, and since I know they're scrambling trying to make things right I don't want to call and further delay them demanding an explanation. There will be time for that later. But bottom line, moving 10 servers (in addition to all their other clients) from one physical location to another is not easy. Lots of things could go wrong, and apparently many of them did.
