AUUUGGGHHH! They Got LJ Again!

I have no idea whether it's a DDOS attack again, but I am getting those same Varnish Error 503 messages! (And it's not just me ... downrightnow and twitter and their FB page are full of people reporting the same.)

ETA: Back again! That was fast. Some of them were on the Facebook page, giving reassurances and apparently taking notes, because it's running again. And the status message got changed appropriately too.

Where else can we check other than the LJ status page? That showed no problems and had last been updated on the 4th, which wasn't of much help.

I did submit a service request; I got the Error 503 message when I submitted it, but it might have gone though nevertheless.

While things were at their worst, they changed the status message to say that they were investigating the 503 errors. Now it says no problems again, but the date is August 6.

I go to downrightnow: http://downrightnow.com/livejournal, and also LJ has a Facebook page where some of the volunteer staffers were coming on and reassuring people.

Thanks for the link; I've bookmarked it. I didn't look at the right time to see the 503 status message, I guess. Facebook isn't going to help me since I don't have a Facebook account.
