It's not just you! http://livejournal.com looks down from here.

Dreamwidth invite codes?  Cracked articles?  TVTropes entries?  Good blogs?

Or the Amy Winehouse entry on Ohnotheydidnt crashing the server because of too many comments.

BTW, I didn't know you were here, too. I'll subscribe and grant access as soon as this comment posts.

Yeah, but at this point, I doubt it's a zombie Amy Winehouse... wait, she's ALWAYS looked undead.

Right now, I'm thinking it's butthurt Russian politicos DDoSing the site because they got all emo over what some random Russian blogger said.

I checked Google News and found this story

Eyes crossed out, tongue protruding

Community and blogging site LiveJournal is continuing to suffer a prolonged outage.

The service has been down since Monday due to unspecified data centre problems. Russian media firm SUP bought LiveJournal from original developers Six Apart back in 2007 before moving product development and design functions to Russia.

LiveJournal was hit by a DDoS attack earlier this year but a second attack does not appear to be the cause of this week's extended outage. ®
