Not just any website! A website of a YCombinator funded startup. A website for a service with which most of us have accounts. A service that wasn't working because it was down, thus affecting our DATA!!

I doubt we'd post a CNN 404, but a CNN 5xx might be HNewsworthy. Especially if 4chan was to blame.

Maybe we can discuss how to startups can handle planned downtime situations?

discussing how they handled the down time would have been better than the posted link.
