Threadless Goes Down, We Stay Up…
It’s true that occasionally, from time to time, the Threadless server farm finds itself swamped, buckling under the pressure of ten thousand bloggers, clicking F5 as quick as possible to see what new replies their witty blog posts have garnered. When this happens, the site goes down, and our images don’t show up, because they’re generated from the Threadless servers, to provide live stats.
In reality, I’m guessing it’s a DNS issue, or perhaps a load-balancing problem… It looks like the machines themselves are up, but that there’s some routing issues going on at their ISP. Which is, you know, what they pay them for.
Anyway, as much as I’d love to be reviewing a shirt sub for you (mmm… …sub) this very instant, I thought I’d at least explain away the broken images all over our otherwise pretty page.
