New Blog and Outages

This is our new listverse blog – it is hosted directly on the wordpress servers so it will be active even if the main site goes down.

The reason for adding this blog is that we had another massive outage last night as a result of being featured on the front page of FoxNews.com. The listverse sysadmins are working on a plan to put an end to downtime once and for all! This will possibly involve a cluster of servers and a load balancer. There may be a few quirks over the next couple of days as we decide what to do and begin to implement it.

Thanks for your patience. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog so you can keep abreast of issues.
