Sorry to hear about your problems Reed. I am always interested in what the thumb has to say.

The same server also hosts the AntiEvolution.org, Austringer.net, Baywing.net, TalkDesign.org, and OnlineZoologists.com domains. We will restore service as soon as we can for all of these.

Funny, I initially assumed it was down due to overloading in response to the Republican debate last night, during which millions of Americans were told by Gov. Huckabee that any question about evolution is, in fact, a question about whether one believes in God or not.

CNN has a whole article about the evolution-deniers self-defense during the debate: Debate Evolves into Religious Discussion

Ah Ha! I suspected as much when ALL my favorites were down at the same time. Thanks for posting the message - I was relieved to see it was not DaveScot or one of his nefarious cohorts.

I may have to actually visit UD without the soothing and filtering of AFTB.

Nice to hear it’s not a DOS attack or anysuch. Consider yourself missed.

Wow…I post one quote from Duane Gish over at AntiEvolution.org, and it burns up the server for five domains. Far out…

I’ll have to remember that when I get ticked off at raging Darwinists in the future. Quote Gish…burn up their servers.

Thanks for the info, Reed.

I don’t think it was that – I think it was your salacious inquiries about Richard Hughes that finally popped their servers.

Probably oughta go easy on that in the future. The neighbors are starting to talk.

Gosh, I hadn’t thought about that. You might be right…

The Pixy Kingdom wants the Panda’s Thumb to formally acknowledge the existence of pixies. If the Thumb refuses, more pixy dust will be sprinkled on your server!

(In all seriousness, good luck with a fix)

Being that I’m turning over a new leaf in my bloggy world, the lamp of my heart shall guide us through the darkness.

Kum-ba-yah, my…um, uh…well
Kum-ba-yah!
Kum-ba-yah, er, argg…
Kum-ba-yah!
Someone’s server’s down,
Kum-ba-

Oh, please. I can’t do this. Sorry.

With PT down, I tried my hand at writing about Behe’s problems with chloroquine resistance. I don’t think I made any ghastly errors, but then again, IANA molecular biologist….

We’re having issues today with the Panda’s Thumb’s server over heating.

Thats’s OK, you are still irradiating the ID/Creationist movement in the infrared. Who knows what else might show up outside the visible slice of the electromagnetic spectrum?

I see Wes has blown my server donation on his everquest subscription. Arden is jealous because he feels TEH_SEXI_HAWT zone, but TEH_SEXI_HAWT doesn’t feel him. He thinks I’m magnificent!

It sounds like a busy night!

Why doesn’t Panda’s Thumb go to Science Blogs? There is much less server trouble there.

I don’t buy the “server heating” thing. I think that Steve Steve, who runs the PT, is taking time off to read Behe’s new comic book.

That’s Professor SteveSteve. Let’s be respectful of his accomplishments, FrankJ.

The Science Blogs business model is not consistent with a large group blog that is owned by a non-profit corporation, the Talk Origins Archive Foundation.

In addition we’ve made tons of customizations to the blogging software and don’t want to give up control of our site to another entity.

Hey Reed, can we hang out at your house? ATBC’s been down for a day and a half now and we’re all suffering withdrawal. :-(

Think of all the things Dave Scot could be doing that are going unridiculed!

Uh oh, I was right. Dave is now comparing Gonzalez to people killed by the Nazis:

Plus, check out Dave’s insightful commentary, showing his deep knowledge of academia:

Any university without the ideological bias would be thrilled to have such a prolific young astronomer on staff.

Yeah, I’m sure Bob Jones is all set to scoop him up.

Sorry. For my penance I’ll reread Dembksi’s “Is Intelligent Design Testable?”

“Let’s go, while we’re still young!” - Al Czervik

We have to get to fisking the All New And Improved

DI/ID “textbook”, now “religion-free”! So many comments, so little time.

PT et al. are now up again, running on our new server—a little sooner than expected. This will mean that we will have to take them down to make scheduled changes to the new server that we have not had a chance to implement.

The backend of PT will be down for a while longer.
