What in the Hell is Wrong with Portland Indymedia?

the Portland Indymedia website is the most unreliable remaining US indy website. http://portland.indymedia.org/ It's up and down more than a yo-yo on acid. And that's not counting the conspiracy crap infesting the wire. What gives?

It's up and down more than a yo-yo on acid.

And that's not counting the conspiracy crap infesting the wire.

What gives?

Recently the site was down for almost a month. When it returned, allegedly around Aug 11th, there was this explanation:

Hot Tech

We had some heat exhaustion on computers running the site that us down for a few days. It is all cool now. Weather blows, but we keep going.

-------------------------

I don't think that's how it works. Any competent tech person would have the computers in a temperature and moisture neutral place ALL THE TIME.

But hey maybe they can hammer this out at their meeting this Saturday:

Indymedia Events:

Usually held on 3rd Saturday of the month - (email PIMC to verify)

Next Meeting: 6:00 PM

Bipartisan Cafe 7901 SE Stark st.

General Meeting

Of course few people will know about it because as of this writing the wire is DOWN AGAIN.

Is portland.indymedia.org down?

It's not just you! portland.indymedia.org looks down from here.

They can't blame it on the weather now....

Maybe time to turn the sub domain over to someone who knows what they're doing.
