An issue with a software upgrade apparently: <a href="http://www.redditstatus.com/incidents/902y2bfc3bq4" rel="nofollow">http://www.redditstatus.com/incidents/902y2bfc3bq4</a>
Redundancy! You should be able to switch to your business continuity backup in less than a minute. Come on, people! It isn't that hard to keep the previous version running in read only mode from a read only DB, then recover by enabling writes on the back-end, spooling the transaction log from the false start over to it, turning off front-end read only, and going live!
And they're back. Although they seem to be struggling with heavy traffic.<p>Edit: Actually it seems it's only partially up, most user information is still unavailable.
