IMC sites have been experiencing massive overloads of traffic since Sept. 11. Compounded by the new virus that was on the loose yesterday, they have probably been having these troubles on and off. As of 3:30pm CT, the main IMC is back up. Also, most IMCs are actually hosted on the Seattle IMC servers. Urbana-Champaign IMC is one of the few that has its own server, so that is why we're up and working when most of the rest are down. |
