Yeah, I got stuck in the middle of something similar.
It's amazing to me that the entire livecode hierarchy (livecode.com, 
livecode.org, the listserv, the forums, the mail servers, the activation 
and authorization servers...) was all down for several hours. I'd like 
to see a reasonable explanation from the mothership about what happened 
and how they're going to avoid this in the future. And please don't say 
that everything goes through a single gateway with no failover.
