I emailed Betsy Aoki (the MSDN community program manager) who emailed me back saying that they are facing some hardware issues and that they are working on this.

Quote:

"Last week, the problem seemed less severe but this time it looks like hardware failure, and not a result of the workspaces upgrade or anything else [...] we do have backups and our ops teams are working to resolve this, so you will see Gotdotnet come back up. It’s just going to take some time to fix. "

My suggestion would be to follow Dare and get off of GDN workspaces. There are a number of better Open Source communities out there. Check one of them out.

Hmmm......

/me wonders:

and they run gdn on what? one server? what about a web farm so that one server having a hardware problem is not taking the whole site down?
