This is the one I used to check if FR was down for everyone.

[generally]

I used that site to check, too, but something is very fishy there.

When I checked, it said FR had been down for some fairly long period of time. (13+ hours, IIRC) I knew that couldn’t be true, because I’d just posted to FR within a few hours before that.
