This is the status page for Fark's behind-the-scenes geekery. If there's a major outage or problem, we'll try to post something here about it... unless we're too up to our eyeballs in trying to actually fix it... so check here if Fark's hosed for an extended length of time. Normally this page will be blank. :-)
For more minor issues, see Mike's blog, or maybe Drew's Bluesky

(very basic and not always reliable; we have a better one internally)
It's probably time I updated this picture from June 2008.
