One of the powerblogs servers got severely overloaded and I had to reboot it. The database isn't coming up for some reason, I'm fixing that now.
I'm very sorry for the problem, and I'll post updates here.
Update: Ok, the database is working again and things should be back to normal, finally. More in a bit.
We're very sorry for the interruption of service to those who are affected, and I'll be posting more as I know it here.
Update: We've got the server back up. Things are looking reasonably normal so far, but I'm going to do more investigation. We will probably need to bring the server offline for maintenance some time late tonight. I'll post more as I know it.
I'm very sorry for the trouble that this has caused people. We're investigating the cause to make sure that it doesn't happen again. There's no reason, so far, to suspect any data loss from the server, but would everyone please just take a quick look to make sure that everything appears to be intact? We've got all of the livebackups (plus the last-ditch mailing list backup), so if anything is missing we should be able to restore it promptly. Thank you, and once again we apologize for the trouble.
