It's not for me, but it was really slow a little earlier.

The whole world will stop arguing until it's back up again...

It is back up for me as of now. Glad they run on Ubuntu, though I hope it was not our fault something happened. Though if they have the Canonical support I will bet they are busy at the moment earning their keep. :)

Wikipedia is now up. As there is no further need to panic, I am closing this thread.

CLOSED.
