Agoracom was down

Good afternoon to you all. As many of you have noticed, the main AGORACOM site is down. Our blog runs off a different set of servers for precisely this reason.

What happened? The technical explanation is that our Server cluster at Amazon had a few problems starting at approximately 3AM EST and we had to take the system offline to rectify the issue. The layman’s explanation … there’s a glitch at Amazon.

We appreciate everyone’s emails and notes to us, want to assure you that we’re on the case and will have AGORACOM running smoothly ASAP.

In the meantime, we’re glad this happened on a Saturday when all of us should be enjoying our families, friends and NFL Football Playoffs … or all 3 together if you are really lucky !!
