Alphabay down? Dnstats says its up. Just me?

I'm getting "We are currently performing a maintenance and upgrading our servers. Your patience is appreciated. Expected downtime is 4 to 5 hours but the forums remain open as usual." yet dnstats says its up. I haven't seen anyone posting about this. Thanks in advance.

If you look closely the dnsstats page is a cap of that notice you just quoted. I was confused too- the site is not broken or anything, or at least not because of outside forces. So: ping, get a reply. Technically, it is up, FUNCTIONALLY, it is down: up and down are a distinction without a difference, and right after I deposited one shiny bitcoin to get drugs with. I have had a good run so far- SR1 to BMR to Agora, I have not had to worry about new market jitters for a while.

You got a point though-weird how no one else is mentioningsite is down.

Now in they're in full swing upgrading their servers. They'll be down for around 24 hours or so. The forums are still up though.
