Dropbox Web 5xx Error?

Thanks - this mostly was for clarification about what they were doing as there wasn't any status information to be had.

Well, it has been done: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2056629

I've upvoted you, because this is ridiculous.

Not just any website! A website of a YCombinator funded startup. A website for a service with which most of us have accounts. A service that wasn't working because it was down, thus affecting our DATA!!

I doubt we'd post a CNN 404, but a CNN 5xx might be HNewsworthy. Especially if 4chan was to blame.

Maybe we can discuss how to startups can handle planned downtime situations?
