forum outage earlier today
Can you tell us why the forum was 503'd earlier? Was it because of mod madness, routine maintenance, or something else?

It's because your sig was bad and you should feel bad.
(Seriously though I have no idea, and it's probably not something any of the active moderators know or can do much about. It could have been davean's idea of a fun joke, though, I suppose.)

Re: forum outage earlier today
It looks like wiki.xkcd.com hasn't come back up (it still 503s). I assume it went down for the same reason as the forums. Is this the best place to get davean or someone else to fix things?

Re: forum outage earlier today
With the forums, at least, it's been an on-and-off thing for a little while. I figure that if there's something that can be done about it, davean's probably working on it.

This is the listed way to notify davean of a problem, yes.

I hadn't actually been informed.

Seems the nameservers were set wrong. It'll take a day or two to fully propagate the change.
