After a downtime of approximately five hours, Birdstack is operational again. The problem appears to have been caused by power fluctuations at our hosting provider. We are taking steps to ensure that we can recover much more quickly from such problems in the future. We sincerely apologize for the outage.

Birdstack has gone down unexpectedly today. We’ll get it back up and running as soon as possible, hopefully within a few hours. Hang in there!

On April 3 at 11:30 p.m. EDT (UTC: 2008-4-4 at 3:30 a.m.) we will be taking the main Birdstack server down for up to 1 hour in order to perform routine maintenance. That means there will be no way to access the site during this time, and your stacks will not load on other websites. We’ll do our best to get it back up as quickly as possible (hopefully less than an hour).

This will be our first major downtime since the site launched back in January, and we don’t plan on any more downtime after this for quite a while. Thanks for your patience.
