I call BS on any website that claims that they had to go offline because of the "government shutdown". That is just more of their lying crap!

exactly the costs.....were covered SOME TIME AGO

they assume were all as NAIVE as the Obama DEVOTEES!!

It is lying crap, indeed. Anything that needs to happen - web farm synch, continuous integration, log file roll ups, db backups, should all be done automatically. A website does not need an individual sitting at a desk watching the web server. If it goes down, it goes down. Why would that be worse than putting up a new landing page blaming the shutdown? It’s all PR.

Someone has to physically change the landing page, costing more tax dollars than just leaving it alone.
