They are hoping to have limited capacity on the site in a few hours. They have not slept very much and called Six Apart the minute everything went to hell. Plans for the holiday weekend for the Fitzpatricks went to hell and no one has had much rest. They are testing everything and all the rumors out there are just that - rumors. Mena and her crew were notified the minute it went down.
So the people calling up LJ's customer service threatening to slit their throats, saying Six Apart got punk'd, and everything else - can you be more emo? Come on now, if you need to journal that bad - head over to GJ just get your fix. Otherwise, give them time. This has only happened one time before and that was confirmed by Sandy when she called me back (I called asking for an interview and more information as I am doing a story on blogging and this outage for a site I write for.)
My god, you would think someone is killing kittens or something the way people are crying in chat rooms.
