Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Connectivity issues at the moment

The main www.skritter.com Linode middleserver is having some connection problems right now:

You can look for further updates here:

If you're seeing problems, and yet you're still able to read this, then try using our China mirror until they've got this resolved:

http://www.skritter.cn

Shouldn't take long. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Looks like this was resolved shortly after I posted. Thanks for patience, all.

Linode's having some more problems, possibly another DDoS. 加油 to them to get www.skritter.com serving well again. www.skritter.cn will work in the interim.

Well, that one didn't even last a lunchtime.

Looks like it's back again. Perhaps like last time if we acknowledge it it will go away really quickly?

And we're back up for the moment. One hour and seven minutes after we went down this time.
