Their server status page shows everything in red, which I assume is a
bad thing:

<http://www.eternal-september.org/serverstatus.php>

They were having trouble yesterday, but it came around eventually. This
looks like more of the same.

Thanks for the quick reply, I couldn't get their server page to open
before but now I can. Still all red and still can't connect.

Still seeing bad status on the eternal-september site. I wonder what the problems are.

Yes, and they had problems yesterday, too. It cleared up last night,
but the problem's back.

It's 7:34 pm PDT here.

It's back up. It's 9:40 pm PDT. Seems to be a pattern. Down in the
afternoon, back up in the evening.

Are you asking a fucking question here? If not, why use a "?" ?

Sheesh.

If it's eternally down, it would cut back noticeably on the number of
trolls and clueless stooges using Usenet. That's why.

Any more stupid questions?
