Baut, UT and the old Bad Astronomy site are still down. I am Mod there but I don't have the email address of any of the other Mods or Admins to see if they know what's happening sorry folks. Something goes wrong up on cloud number nine (N. Virginia) status.aws.amazon.com/

It more or less disappeared from under my feet as I was trying to register. I hope I'm not responsible

Perhaps we should pop over here more often
Do we know if this was a simple system breakdown or was Amazon hacked? Amazon were not saying what the cause was

The only "information" I've come across on what happened was a bit incoherent, so I don't really know.

Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 BAUT, the most powerful science and astronomy forum in the world and will blow you cable modem clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

But being this is a .44 BAUT, the most powerful science and astronomy forum in the world I have noticed people there do talk like that!

More seriously, it is one of the few forums where you're not allowed to just throw out claims for some sort of conspiracy or non-mainstream science. If someone wants to argue such a thing then they're required to support their statements and to answer questions. Unlike youtube comments or other such beautiful meeting places on the Internet where one can just drone on and on and on uttering nonsense, while ignoring the voices of reason. Best forum in the world? Probably not. A nice place though, if it suits you, with a lot of knowledge among the members. Sort of like here.

Within what I would call the primary domain of the board, I'd say that's mostly true. But I also have to say, outside that domain, I'd change the "Unlike" above to "Like"
