We want to apologize to everyone for the downtime last night, a reader was kind enough to submit one of our article to digg.com and it ended up hitting the front page which brought so much traffic to the site it knocked down our servers for a while. We worked very hard to get them back up and we finally seem to be back to normal. We will be upgrading our servers soon and making several changes to prevent downtime from happening again. Thanks for your patience!
